Lukewarm response for block-level monthly agriculture grievance meetings in Madurai
New Indian ExpressMADURAI: In a first-of-its-kind initiative, district collector MS Sangeetha said monthly agriculture grievance meetings will be held in rural parts instead of the collectorate so as to make sure issues are solved at the grassroots. Opposing the idea, M Raman, honorary president of Tamil Nadu Federation of All Farmers Association, said hosting the monthly meetings at block-levels would greatly affect the farmers. 'Submit petitions to block level officers' Ramanathapuram district collector Vishnu Chandran has requested farmers, who cannot travel to district headquarters, to submit petitions with the block level agriculture officers, who will be conducting grievance meetings during the second Friday of each month. "All the petitions will be sent to the district collector before the monthly farmers grievance meeting," he added.
