Bhatkal: A Praja Seva Andolan meeting will be held at Belke in Bhatkal taluk on Saturday to hear public grievances and facilitate their resolution through various government departments.

The meeting, chaired by Bhatkal-Honnavar MLA and Karnataka Assembly Deputy Speaker Mankal S. Vaidya, will be held from 11 am to 3 pm at the community hall of Bommanakeri Temple in Kanamadal, Belke.

Uttara Kannada Deputy Commissioner Bhuyar Harshal Narayan Rao and district-level officials from various government departments will participate in the programme, providing residents an opportunity to present their grievances directly to the district administration and concerned authorities.

Residents can submit applications regarding issues such as roads, drinking water, drainage, electricity, healthcare, education, transport, land and revenue matters, pensions, housing and other government welfare schemes.
