Agartala, May 20: Now, virtual participation has been introduced in Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha’s public outreach programme, Mukhyamantri Samipeshu, allowing citizens from across the state to connect directly from their respective districts without travelling to the state capital.

The move is aimed at widening the reach of the programme and making government intervention more accessible, particularly for people residing in remote districts.

Through the virtual system, residents can now present their concerns and seek assistance directly from the Chief Minister while remaining in their respective districts.

The new format was put into action on Tuesday, with participants from Dhalai district joining the programme virtually to share a range of issues requiring government attention. 

After listening to the grievances, Dr. Saha instructed concerned departments and officials to initiate appropriate follow-up measures.

Among the cases highlighted during the interaction was that of an elderly tribal woman who has reportedly been battling a skin ailment for nearly a decade. Seeking medical support virtually, she appealed directly to the Chief Minister. 

Taking immediate note of the matter, Dr. Saha directed the Dhalai District Magistrate and health officials to arrange her treatment at Agartala Government Medical College and GBP Hospital.

The session also witnessed participants raising concerns over crop damage and agricultural issues, while healthcare remained one of the dominant issues discussed. Several individuals additionally sought financial support and assistance related to livelihood challenges.

Officials said the virtual integration of 'Mukhyamantri Samipeshu' is expected to improve the speed and effectiveness of grievance redressal by reducing geographical barriers and enhancing administrative responsiveness.

Mukhyamantri Samipeshu has emerged as a key interface between the state government and citizens, with the latest digital expansion aimed at strengthening direct communication and ensuring that public concerns receive faster attention and action.
