Minister for Public Works P.A. Mohamed Riyas and Minister for Sports V. Abdurahiman led the adalat. They will lead the adalat for Perinthalmanna taluk on Saturday at Kalyani Kalyanamandapam, Angadipuram. There will be seven adalats for seven taluks in the district.

Inaugurating the adalat, Mr. Abdurahiman said that finding solutions to people’s problems by taking them into confidence was the style of the State government. He exhorted government officials to remain vigilant to address people’s complaints in time.

“In the adalat, Ministers examine such complaints that could not be addressed by officials. This is the second time taluk-level adalats are being held by this government. We could address the woes of the people to a great extent,” he said.

Mr. Riyas said that Kerala’s was the only State government offering social security pension to 60 lakh people in the country. He said more taluk level adalats would be held to address unresolved issues.
