'Public Service is Our Core Responsibility': Piyush Goyal
Speaking on the occasion, Piyush Goyal said, "Addressing citizens' problems is our core responsibility. Every complaint received is taken seriously, and decisions are made in coordination with the concerned departments. My team ensures regular follow-ups. True public service lies in listening to people's concerns and resolving them effectively and in a timely manner. Everyone who wishes to avail Mahanagar Gas connections will receive them, so I urge citizens to apply at the earliest. We are also working to ensure faster gas pipeline connections through Mahanagar Gas."
"Those who have not yet submitted their letters should submit them at the Lok Kalyan office. I stand with the people, not with builders. Any citizen facing issues related to builders can approach me directly. As the Member of Parliament from North Mumbai, I will ensure that their grievances are heard and resolved," he added.
Local officials, representatives, volunteers, and party workers were present in large numbers at the Janata Darbar. MP Goyal reiterated that public service and citizens' welfare remain the highest priority, and continuous follow-up is ensured for all complaints. (ANI)
