Addressing Civic Grievances and Systemic Reform
The interactive session provided a platform for citizens to raise various local concerns directly with officials. One resident, identified as Bhavani, reported being defrauded by a construction company after paying ₹2 lakh for a house that was never delivered. The Deputy CM immediately directed the Superintendent of Police, G. Bindu Madhav, to resolve the matter, resulting in swift action from the police department.
Other residents highlighted broader municipal issues. Vinod noted that the Kakinada Municipal Corporation had sanctioned numerous projects during the previous YSRC regime without securing sufficient funding, leading to current deficits for essential services like pest control. In response, Kakinada District Collector M.N. Haredhira Prasad clarified that the state has sanctioned ₹105 crore for the Kakinada Smart City initiative to address these infrastructure needs.
The session also addressed concerns regarding urban aesthetics and public safety. A local resident named Goush brought attention to vagabonds occupying bus shelters, hindering public access. The One Town Police promptly responded by clearing these encroachments. Additionally, a resident named Reddy Sindhuja sought assistance regarding a vehicle that had been taken on hire but never returned; authorities successfully intervened and returned the car to her family. Through these interactions, the administration aimed to demonstrate a reactive and efficient approach to public service delivery while signaling a departure from caste-based political discourse.
