Hindu Tamil Thisai, a Tamil daily newspaper, took ‘Ungal Kural’ beyond print to a ground event called ‘Ungal Kural Theru Vizha.’
The platform enabled face to face interactions of the public with the local government representatives for them to get aware of the civic issues and work to find solutions for them. Some of the grievances were provision of drinking water, garbage disposal, problems at panchayath, reduction of property tax etc.
In a span of two weeks, this event was organised at 20 plus locations across Tamil Nadu where more than 800 grievances were recorded, 100 were resolved on the spot and rest are being worked upon by the government authorities.
Since the inception, ‘Hindu Tamil Thisai’ has been publishing the ‘Ungal Kural’ section. Ungal Kural is a dial-in facility extended by Hindu Tamil Thisai to its readers to register their civic issues.
