Kadapa MLA creates monitoring cell for civic complaints

Kadapa MLA and government whip Reddeppagari Madhavi Reddy has announced the creation of a special monitoring cell to address civic complaints raised by residents. The announcement was made on Thursday during activities held under the Pedala Sevalo 2.0 programme. The cell at the MLA’s office is intended to monitor public issues and ensure that they are taken up on a priority basis.

Madhavi Reddy was accompanied by her spouse and Telugu Desam Party zonal coordinator R. Srinivasa Reddy during a visit to Modameedhapalli locality in the first division of Kadapa Municipal Corporation. They distributed social security pensions to beneficiaries in the area.

The representatives also asked residents whether they were receiving all the welfare schemes to which they were entitled. Citizens submitted representations concerning civic maintenance and public amenities. The complaints mentioned included sewage, street lights, roads and other local infrastructure.

Madhavi Reddy said these issues would be addressed through the monitoring arrangement at her office. During the visit, the MLA also went to a State-run primary school. She sought information from a teacher about the condition and maintenance of drinking-water facilities, toilets and classrooms.

Speaking to the media later, R. Srinivasa Reddy said Pedala Sevalo 2.0, an initiative of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, was designed to provide citizens with a direct forum to interact with their elected representatives.

The source material does not specify the size of the new monitoring cell, the timetable for resolving complaints or the number of representations received during the visit. It says the programme will use the MLA’s office to give priority to civic issues raised by residents at different public forums.
