Balaghat (Madhya Pradesh): Collector Mrinal Meena has issued notices to eight officers, including two sub-divisional magistrates (SDMs), for failing to dispose of complaints lodged through CM Helpline.

220 cases come up for hearing

Collector Mrinal Meena sifted through 220 complaints at a public hearing on Tuesday. Most of the plaints were related to PM Awas Yojna. He said that the Central Government had fixed a new target for completing 7,000 houses under PM Awas Yojna.  Meena took feedback on the progress of revenue cases in Lanji, Waraseoni and Kirnapur. Meena directed the Tehsildar to reopen a case in Khairlanji and give him reports about it.

Tehsildar said the case had pertained to 2020-21, but as it was not lodged in the RCMS portal of the department, it could not be solved. The case is related to the mutation of Renuka Chandanlal's properties. A complaint about Avanti Nagar colony in Waraseoni came up at the public hearing. Meena took feedback on the complaint from SDM RR Pandey.
