Mysore Grahakara Parishat will hold its monthly meeting on Sunday
November 13 at 4.00 PM at 6/1 Vivekananda Road, Yadavagiri. With Mysore
city drowning in garbage despite several initiatives of MCC, one of the
topics to be discussed will be citizen's role in solving the garbage
problem. It is always easy to criticize the officials and politicians
for garbage problem. But there is equal responsibility on the part of
the citizens also.
Karnataka Government has taken a new initiative to help the citizens by
deciding to promulgate an ordinance to implement the Karnataka
Guarantee of Services to Citizens Act, 2011. Under this act any officer
who fails to render services within stipulated time will have to pay
fine. On paper this sounds great as did several other acts like
Consumer Protection Act, Right to Information Act, Right to Education
Act etc. For consumers to get the best use of such acts, we need to be
ever vigilant. During the meeting MGP plans to discuss how Mysoreans
can prepare to get maximum benefits out of such an act.
