@1kandarpa@drpkpanigrahy The Kandhamal MP also partly represents Ganjam, and he too doesn't seem to be serious about the Gopalpur-Phulbani-Redhakhol Railway line project.
When will Odisha political parties/ bureaucracy realise that there is a vast landmass outside BBSR that is also called Odisha, where Odias live, who need development & connectivity?
Greenfield Airport at Berhampur has been denied to South Odisha for long, it's non-negotiable.
What if you could WhatsApp a senior IAS officer directly to report a pending government complaint or civic problem? 📱
IAS officer Vijay Amruta Kulange is opening that door for residents across eight districts of Odisha’s Southern Division.
After taking charge as Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC), the 2013-batch officer shared his personal mobile number and invited people to send him details of pending work, public grievances and other problems through WhatsApp.
His assurance was simple:
“I will coordinate with the concerned district administration and make efforts to resolve the issues,” he wrote on X.
The Southern Division covers Kandhamal, Koraput, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Ganjam, Gajapati, Kalahandi and Rayagada. Many of these districts have sizeable tribal populations, and residents in remote areas can face difficulties accessing government services.
Kulange believes grievance redressal is an important measure of good governance. His aim is not just to receive complaints, but to understand why they remain unresolved and identify gaps in the system.
To strengthen the process, he has also deputed a dedicated grievance redressal officer at the RDC office. Complaints will be followed up through action taken reports and coordination with the respective district administrations.
Residents can also contact him directly on WhatsApp at 8117887999 to share relevant information and concerns.
The initiative follows his field visits during recent cyclone and flood situations, when he noticed gaps in service delivery and communication between citizens and the administration.
Former Odisha Chief Secretary P.K. Jena also appreciated the initiative and wished him success.
A direct line to the administration may not solve every problem overnight, but it can make sure that citizens are heard and their grievances reach the right officials.
