The interaction witnessed active participation from residents, social activists, and delegations representing various wards and sectors. People highlighted a wide range of pressing issues related to water supply, power outages, road maintenance, sanitation, drainage, irregularities in public welfare schemes, delay in revenue-related services, and other developmental concerns.
