Chennai, Jan 3 (BPNS)
In a novel initiative, the DMK legislator of Chennai’s R.K. Nagar constituency, J.J. Ebenezer has started meeting people through door-to-door interaction.
The MLA launched a program,’ Ungalai Thedi MLA’ ( MLA at your door steps) a few days before and is now interacting with people by reaching to their doorsteps.
Ebenezer while speaking to BPNS said, “ I commence my door-to-door routine from 7 am and take officials also along with me. Metrowater board officials, Tangedco, and Corporation officials accompany me in this initiative.”
The legislator said that he would try to address the grievances of the people at their door steps itself and if the complaint is minor, he would rectify it on the spot with the support of the officials who accompanies him. The MLA said that he has set a ten-day deadline for officials to complete any major work in the area after a person has raised a complaint.
The DMK leader said that the major complaints relate to sewage, metro water connection, and power-related issues as well as some issues regarding the functioning of the corporation. The MLA is also taking up health-related issues and directs people to ensure that there is no mosquito breeding in the area.
Local people are also happy at the initiative of the legislator and people said that several issues related to sewage and metro water were cleared immediately after the MLA was sounded on the issue.
Ebenezer while speaking to BPNS said, “ I ask the people in the constituency to reach my office at any time they need and to sound their grievances if the officials are not heeding to it. My office will make sure that the issue is settled at the earliest.”
The constituency is mainly comprising of the working class, fishermen, and other labour classes and the regular interaction of the MLA with the people has given high hopes for the local people.
