Odisha CM Mohan Majhi grievance hearing enters 20th session
Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi is conducting his 20th public grievance hearing at Unit-2 in Bhubaneswar today, providing registered citizens an opportunity to present their complaints directly before the state government.
According to the information provided for the programme, around 1,000 people who completed online booking are scheduled to have their grievances heard during the session. The hearing is part of the state government’s continuing public grievance redressal initiative.
The programme brings citizens and senior government representatives together at the same venue, allowing complaints to be placed before the Chief Minister and concerned ministers.
Ministers to join Odisha CM Mohan Majhi grievance hearing
Several ministers are also attending the hearing alongside Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi. Those named for the programme include Revenue Minister Suresh Pujari, Krushna Chandra Mahapatra, and Ganesh Ram Singhkhuntia.
Their presence allows complaints relating to different departments to be considered with the participation of the respective ministers and government officials.
The Unit-2 grievance centre in Bhubaneswar has been used regularly for the Chief Minister’s public grievance programme. Earlier sessions have also seen citizens from different parts of Odisha approach the Chief Minister with their concerns.
Direct platform for citizens to raise complaints
The public grievance hearing is designed to provide a direct channel between citizens and the administration. Instead of relying only on routine departmental processes, registered complainants can place their concerns before senior government representatives during the scheduled hearing.
The programme has become a recurring feature of the Odisha government’s grievance-redressal process. The Chief Minister’s Office has previously described the initiative as part of efforts to make citizen services more accessible and to ensure that public complaints receive timely attention.
Previous hearings have also involved senior ministers and departmental officials, with directions issued for action on complaints raised by citizens. The participation of ministers is particularly significant because many public grievances require coordination across government departments.
The latest session comes after the 18th public grievance hearing held at Unit-2 in June. That session received more than 600 grievances through online and offline modes, while 13 Cabinet ministers participated in the proceedings.
Focus remains on grievance redressal
For citizens attending the 20th session, the hearing represents an opportunity to bring individual problems directly to the attention of the state’s top executive and senior ministers.
The effectiveness of the programme will ultimately depend on the follow-up action taken on the complaints after they are heard. Previous sessions have included directions to concerned officials to examine grievances and take appropriate steps toward resolution.
The continuation of the hearings also highlights the government’s emphasis on direct interaction with citizens. As the 20th session gets underway in Bhubaneswar, attention will remain on the complaints raised by the registered participants and the action that follows.
The Odisha CM Mohan Majhi grievance hearing at Unit-2 is therefore another important public-facing administrative exercise, bringing around 1,000 online-registered complainants and senior government representatives together in Bhubaneswar.
