‘Call Your Collector,’ a new facility was launched in Ramanathapuram district on Monday.

The officials said that the facility would be available in addition to the grievance redress meeting, where the petitioner can submit their petitions in person. The new facility was meant to expedite the grievance cell mechanism and for those people who could not physically present at the grievance redress meeting.
The district already has special numbers and facilities such as 1098 -for child line, 1077 - for disaster management, 181 - for social welfare and women rights and 1950 for election-related complaints. the officials added.
While residents are worried over deaths due to diarrhoea in Vijayawada, officials still grapple to find the root cause. Contaminated drinking water supplied by VMC officials is the reason, insist people in the affected areas, but officials insist that efforts are on to identify the disease and that those with symptoms other than diarrhoea too are visiting the health camps.
