Under the ongoing campaign, grievance redressal camps have been organised at Gram Panchayat Wandoor, Chouldhari Community Hall and Sippighat Community Hall, enabling residents to raise public grievances and avail government services at their doorstep.
At Gram Panchayat Wandoor, the camp was held under the chairmanship of Mr. Kamaleshwar Rao S, IAS, Assistant Commissioner, South Andaman, and was attended by the Pradhan, Sarpanch, Up-Pradhan and other PRI members. The camp witnessed active participation from the general public.
