Mangalore, Mar 30. 2013 : Mangalore MLA UT Khader who has alleged that officials were not attending to civic grievances at several places on  the pretext of poll code of  conduct, has urged the State Election Commission to set up a grievance cell to enable public to air their grievances.

Speaking to reporters at the District Congress Office here on March 29, Friday, he said  several areas in Ullal were suffering from water scarcity and that the officials were not coming to the aid of the  distressed people. He said elected representatives who tried to redress grievance were warned of action on the pretext of poll code. This being the case, it is better for the State Election Commission to set up a grievance cell, he said.

He said such a cell would help the  officials to co-ordinate with the public in  trying to find solution to civic woes until elections are over and a new government is formed.
