In village areas, panchayats play a significant role in handling local issues at the respective jurisdictions. At VP of Adpai-Durbhat in Ponda, I have complained on some occasions regarding unjust acts of some of the residents residing in our private property at Adpai. However, there is not a single occasion wherein I have received any written reply from this panchayat.
Even recently, I registered two complaint letters dated November 22, 2021 and December 29, 2021 respectively towards a resident for dumping construction materials in our private property without my prior permission.
The existing way was also blocked in the process. But on both these occasions, I did not receive either oral or written reply regarding the status pertaining to my registered complaint.
Such a attitude on the part of VPs puts everyone to inconvenience. The Directorate of Panchayats as a competent authority should take a serious note and instruct all VPs in the State to inform the complainants about the position of their respective complaints through a written reply compulsorily.
Such a step would indeed prove convenient for the said complainants to get acquainted with the actual position of their complaints. Let us hope that the DOP issues necessary circular to the VP’s in the state accordingly on top priority.
