More focused attention can be given to their ordeals, says Collector
Hundreds of petitioners throng distrct collectorates in the State every Monday with the hope that their problems would be resolved at the weekly grievance redress meetings. This is the case with farmers who attend the monthly grievances redress meetings held for them.
But the problems faced by the the differently abled are definitely more complex. Considering their plight, the Virudhunagar district administration has come up with the plan of holding monthly grievance redress meetings exclusively for them. The first meeting will be held on January 7.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
