Villagers vented their ire against the new tahsildar of Kushalnagar, who remained absent for a public grievance redressal meeting at Suntikoppa Nadakatcheri, on Friday.

Zilla Panchayat member K P Chandrakala had convened a meeting of Suntikoppa Gram Panchayat members on Thursday evening and said that Kushalnagar Tahsildar Prakash will visit Nadakatcheri to address the issues such as transfer of pauthi khata, pension and other schemes. The Gram Panchayat was asked to give proper publicity for the programme.

Accordingly, labourers, elderly women and other villagers waited for the tahsildar at the Nadakatcheri office. But, Tahsildar Prakash did not turn up even after 5 pm.

The villagers condemned the lackadaisical attitude of the official and said that the tahsildar remaining absent for the meeting without informing earlier, shows his negligence towards the less privileged people and the elderly.

The labourers said they had left all other work to come to the meeting.
