The report also features 3 success stories of effective grievance resolution from States/UTs:
Shri Rohan reported a dangerous situation at the Palam Flyover bus stand, where an open electric meter posed a risk to the public, especially during the rainy season. The bus stand, located above Palam Railway Station, is heavily frequented by pedestrians. This issue is widespread across many bus stands in the area.
Concerned, the citizen filed a grievance on the CPGRAMS Portal, and within 25 days, the authorities addressed the issue by covering the electric meter panel with a fibre sheet for safety purposes. A photo of the completed work was also attached.
Shri Amit Kumar, raised a grievance regarding the non-installation of his electricity meter despite paying the pending bill of ₹46,530 on 28th June, 2024. His connection was cut two years ago due to rental rates, and despite complaints to the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum UPCL Kumaon Zone office in Haldwani, no action was initially taken. The complainant faced harassment at the hands of the staff, and was troubled on non-resolution despite visiting for several months.
Concerned, he filed a grievance on the CPGRAMS Portal, and within 2 days of filing the grievance, the meter was installed, and the sealing certificate was provided.
A citizen from Krishnalanka Ward 22, Vijayawada, filed a complaint on behalf of the locality, reporting that the drinking water supplied through municipal taps was black in colour and unsafe for consumption. The citizen requested immediate action to ensure the provision of safe drinking water.
The issue was addressed by conducting regular water sample tests during supply hours, regularly opening scour valves on the sublines, laying new pipelines throughout the ward, and sanctioning new household connections to ensure water quality.
