PGRS at mandal, divisional and municipal levels today
Eluru: District collector K Vetriselvi said that with the aim of speeding up the resolution of public grievances and bringing it closer to the people, the state government is also conducting the Public Grievance Redressal System (PGRS) services at the mandal, divisional and municipal levels on Monday. Similarly, at the district level, the PGRS programme is being conducted as usual from 10 am at the Collectorate's Godavari Conference Hall here. The government has now decentralised the complaints-receiving system that was previously implemented at the district level. Through this, people can submit their complaints directly to the nearest mandal offices, divisional offices, or municipal offices. Also, to file a complaint online from home, the official website provided by the government is: https://meekosam.ap.gov.in
To know information about complaint registration, complaint status etc., people can call the toll-free number 1100 (double one double zero). The Collector said that due to this system, people's problems will be immediately reached by the concerned authorities and resolved in a timely manner. She urged the people to avail this opportunity and make full use of it.

Shivraj slams forest officials, backs tribals in land dispute
Bhopal: Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday lashed out at forest department officials during a public meeting at the Sehore Collectorate, accusing them of harassing tribal communities and tarnishing the govt's image. His remarks came amid protests by tribal villagers opposing the proposed Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sanctuary in the district. A large number of tribals gathered at the Collectorate to submit a memorandum demanding cancellation of the sanctuary project. The protestors, hailing from nearly 200 villages, claimed that over 2 lakh tribal residents who have been cultivating forest land for decades are now being targeted and labelled as illegal encroachers. Chouhan, who is also the MP from Vidisha and a senior BJP leader in Madhya Pradesh, assured the community of his full support. "Mama is with you," he told the gathering. "I warn the forest department — do not make the mistake of harassing these people. This will not be tolerated under any circumstances." The tribals allege that despite living and farming on forest land for 25 to 30 years, many have not been issued land rights under the Forest Rights Act, 2006. They claim that several applications submitted through the Van Mitra Portal have not been resolved, leaving them vulnerable to eviction. Chouhan assured the villagers that he would take up the matter directly with CM Mohan Yadav.
