Sevanasparsam' settles 84 complaints in Kuttanad
Collector has called a meeting of the MP and MLA, officials and local body chief to find a solution to the water scarcity in the area.
Alappuzha: Sevanasparsam, the grievance-redressal programme held at the rice research station, Mankombu, settled 84 complaints out of 490 in Kuttanad taluk on Saturday. District collector T.V. Anupama, who initiated the programme, asked the principal agriculture officer to take steps for resuming the farming at Kallambally paddy polders over a complaint registered by the headmistress of government LPS, Nadubhagom.
“Since the paddy land had turned barren, the thickets had made the students’ travel to the school difficult,” the complaint said. A group of kids and parents from Manalodi Thuruth of Kainakary sought the collector’s support to repair a road to their school. The village officer was asked to maintain the road. A person from Kainakari north complained that he had not received his land documents though he had paid back a 25-year-old loan. The tahsildar was entrusted to resolve the issue.
The collector has called a meeting of the MP and MLA, officials and local body chief to find a solution to the water scarcity in the area. There were also complaints regarding land levelling, property dispute, farm road construction, anomalies in paddy procurement, education loans, bund breach, title deeds and employment. Sub-collector V. R. K. Theja Maylavarappu, A.D.M. I. Abdul Salam, punch special officer Moncy Alexander, deputy collectors S. Muraladheeran Pillai, P. S. Swarnamma and Athul S. Nath attended the programme.
