People throng Undavalli residence to meet Lokesh
Minister Nara Lokesh receiving petitions from the public at his Undavalli residence on Tuesday
Undavalli: As there are no restrictions to reach the residence of minister for education, IT and electronics Nara Lokesh, daily thousands of people are personally attending the Praja Darbar to submit their appeals to him. Lokesh is listening to everyone more patiently and is trying his best to repose faith and confidence among them that he will soon resolve their problems.
Since the problems of the people are pouring in, Lokesh has set up a separate mechanism to forward the issues to the departments concerned so that a solution is found at the earliest. Though Lokesh is residing at the official residence of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, there are no official curbs. Generally, the Chief Minister’s official residence has stringent restrictions like the camp office of former chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, which is the best example for this when he was holding office. But the residence where Lokesh is staying does not have any such security curbs and the common people can have easy access.
From 8 am every day, Lokesh is listening to all the people who are approaching him personally during Praja Darbar at his official residence in Undavalli, thus proving beyond any doubt as he promised during the election campaign that the doors of his residence are always open for the people of Mangalagiri.
During the Praja Darbar on Tuesday, 70-year-old Gundur Venkata Subbamma made an appeal to Lokesh to come to her rescue by taking steps to sanction widow pension for her while B Durga Prasad of Tadepalli requested him to allot a house-site for him and also solve the drinking water problem in his area.
Chillapalli Veeramma of Mangalagiri requested Lokesh to extend financial assistance for her grandson for his education while T Jayamani appealed for the revival of pension for her and the organisers of the Andhra Pradesh Mee Seva wanted that justice be done to the workers who are dependent on Mee Seva system.
The representatives of the AP CPS Employees Association made an appeal to Lokesh to initiate steps to lift the 1,600 illegal cases filed against the members of the association across the state when they staged a protest in Vijayawada.
The representatives of the APMCA Association appealed to Lokesh to regularise the services of those working for the Ayushmann Health Clinics in the state and also pay their salary dues pending for the past nine months besides revision of their salaries. V Durga Malleswari requested Lokesh to provide employment to her son who has completed B Tech.
Lokesh who has given a patient hearing to all of them promised them that he will take measures to resolve their problems at the earliest possible time.
