Sanjeev Jaiswal to Lead Public Grievance Meeting at MHADA Headquarters in Mumbai

Since January 2024, MHADA has organized Lokshahi Din on the second Monday of every month to help citizens raise their concerns and seek timely solutions. Under the leadership of IAS Sanjeev Jaiswal, the authority has successfully conducted 21 such meetings so far.

During these sessions, citizens can discuss their complaints directly with the concerned officials in an open and transparent setting. The initiative has helped resolve long-pending cases and made it easier for citizens to receive timely responses from the administration.

Before each meeting, Jaiswal also reviews the action taken by officials on complaints raised during previous sessions. This follow-up process encourages accountability and helps ensure that submitted grievances receive proper attention. The initiative aims to strengthen public trust by making MHADA's grievance redressal system more accessible, responsive, and transparent.

MHADA has asked citizens who wish to participate in the October 12 meeting to submit their complaints using the prescribed application format. Applicants must send two copies of the completed application at least 15 days before the meeting.

MHADA will not accept repeated applications on matters for which a final response has already been provided or is due to be provided. Complaints that are not personal in nature will also be excluded from the Lokshahi Din process.

Ineligible Applications to Be Forwarded to Concerned Departments
