The nature of complaints to be raised must be a single subject related to a particular department. “Matters taken up in lok shahi din will be issues which were not addressed by the concerned department. However, cases that are sub judice in nature, revenue related appeals or service establishments and employment matters will not be considered,” said the officer.
The prescribed Lokshahi Din application form has been made available free of cost at the Public Relations Department. For citizens’ convenience, the form can also be downloaded from the official NMMC website at https://nmmconline.in/.
