Reacting to this, Lokayukta SP Udesh, warning the officials of initiating legal action on failing to co-operate with public, instructed them to issue endorsements for not resolving their complaints.

The officials, who spoke on the occasion, said that some of the issues could not be solved on the spot owing to technical reasons and that they would provide an endorsement for the same.

One of the complainants mentioned that he was unaware about the status of his complaints as the officials concerned had not apprised him for the past six months. To this, the Lokayukta SP instructed the officials to provide the information to complainants and for some of the complaints, the officials ensured of disposing of the applications after consulting their    senior officials.
