Several pending files were cleared at the mass contact programme, Pariharam 2017, in Kochi taluk on Tuesday. Joseph D’Cruz from Rameswaram in West Kochi came to meet the District Collector with a complaint that he had not received title deed for his land when land deeds were distributed in his colony in 2014. The Collector promised to settle the issue in two weeks.

Prathapan from Kadebhagam in Palluruthy too found solace in the mass contact programme. The Collector said his complaint that he had not been able to pay land tax for the land on which he had been living since 1976 would be addressed in two weeks.

P.R. Krishnakumari from Elamkunnappuzha, who had approached the authorities for redetermining the boundaries of her 12-cent land holding, also found solace in the programme on Tuesday. The Collector issued instructions to officials concerned to take action at the earliest.

A total of 159 complaints were settled at ‘Pariharam 2017’, the mass contact programme organised on behalf of the government by District Collector K. Mohammed Y. Safirulla. As many as 450 complaints were received at the programme, said a press release here.
