MANGALURU, Karnataka: Katyayini Chamaraj from Civic Bangalore on Saturday, March 11, spoke at the launch of ‘We the People’ – a new civil society organisation, where she said that ward committees are not able to function in the municipal areas and Area Sabhas have also not been constituted.

Chamaraj said that civil society organisations (CSO) should work to convey people’s demands to the concerned local government. Their primary role is to advocate for people’s work, and if necessary and unavoidable, issues can also be taken to the court.

Experts during the launch highlighted the importance of participation of citizens for the effective working of the democratic system in the country. They also asked the citizens to highlight any of the deficiencies observed by them to the concerned authorities. During the event, it was also mentioned that the primary goal of ‘We the People’ is to strengthen and deepen democracy along with improving standard of living of citizens in Dakshina Kannada district.
