Lucknow/Gonda, October 6: As part of the Yogi government’s Mission Shakti 5.0 campaign, a special WhatsApp application and public hearing program for women—“Maa Pateshwari Shakti Samvad”—was launched on Monday at the Devipatan Divisional Headquarters. The initiative, aimed at women’s empowerment through dialogue, saw the active participation of over 45 women from Gonda, Bahraich, Balrampur, and Shravasti districts.

Women Share Grievances

During the session, women shared issues related to land disputes, village roads, ration cards, housing, and other administrative matters. Divisional Commissioner Shashi Bhushan Lal Sushil personally listened to their grievances, resolving four cases on the spot and instructing officials to address the remaining complaints promptly and with priority.

He also directed officials to visit women at their doorsteps to ensure quick redressal, noting that several participants faced difficulty articulating their problems.

Senior women officers, including Additional Commissioner (Judicial) Meenu Rana and Deputy Commissioner (Food) Vijay Prabha, were also present and ensured swift action on various complaints.

Immediate Action by Officials

Commissioner Sushil made several phone calls to concerned officials during the hearing, giving clear directions for immediate resolution and submission of action reports. He also emphasised that complaints received via WhatsApp applications must be handled seriously and resolved promptly.

Strengthening Trust in Administration
