Guwahati: Assam PCC on Monday officially launched an online public grievance portal called 'Assam Justice', designed to address public concerns and advocate for social justice in the state.

The initiative, influenced by Rahul Gandhi's vision and Congress principles, provides Assam residents a straightforward method to submit their concerns and obtain solutions.
Describing the portal as a new platform for protecting public rights, ensuring govt accountability, and promoting transparency, Saikia said, "It will act as a digital bridge between the public and the opposition.

Through this platform, the state PCC and Congress aim to consolidate public grievances and bring them directly to the attention of the govt. "The portal will allow anyone from Assam to submit complaints, which the party will then review and forward to the relevant departments for prompt resolution," Saikia said.
The portal will especially focus on highlighting irregularities and mismanagement in areas under the Panchayati Raj system. It will push for resolution of failures in govt services including healthcare, education, roads, sanitation, and more.
Clarifying that this is not just a platform for lodging complaints but rather a step to consolidate the ground realities of public service failures, Saikia reiterated that this is an initiative to expose the shortcomings of the govt.

Ponnanna, Karnataka Chief Secretary Shalini Rajaneesh, and other officials at the Vidhana Soudha. The details of the report are yet to be made public. CM Siddaramaiah said, "The one-man Commission headed by retired Justice Michael D'Cunha, appointed to look into the stampede tragedy that claimed 11 lives, has submitted its report. The report has been submitted in two volumes." "I have not been able to read it fully. It will be presented before the next Cabinet meeting on July 17, where we will discuss the findings and recommendations." When asked about the contents of the report, the Chief Minister said that it comprises two volumes and he has not yet read it. He emphasised that the report's findings need to be discussed and debated before any decisions are made. "I am yet to go through the report, and it needs to be discussed in the Cabinet. You (the media) should not publish inaccurate information before that," he added. The state government had issued a notification on June 5, 2025, forming a one-man Commission led by retired Justice Michael D'Cunha to investigate the deaths and injuries caused by the stampede during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) victory celebration event. The government, on June 7, issued a notification extending the term of the one-man Commission led by retired Justice John Michael D'Cunha to facilitate the probe into the Chinnaswamy stampede tragedy. The Congress-led state government has ordered a three-pronged investigation into the stampede tragedy. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has announced a magisterial probe by the Deputy Commissioner of Bengaluru City and District Magistrate, a Criminal Investigation Department (CID) probe, in addition to the judicial probe by the John Michael D'Cunha-led Commission.
