**”Ungaludan Stalin” Initiative Launched in Madurai, Promises Swift Resolution to Citizen Grievances**

*Madurai, July 15, 2025* – The Tamil Nadu government today launched the “Ungaludan Stalin” program in Madurai, aiming to deliver government services directly to citizens through a series of special camps. Minister for Commercial Taxes and Registration, P. Moorthy, inaugurated the initiative at Chettikulam village in Madurai West Panchayat Union.

The program will see 347 camps held across the district, offering a comprehensive range of 43 services in urban areas and 46 in rural areas. These services, spanning 13 to 15 government departments, aim to address various citizen needs, including facilitating enrollment in the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai scheme for eligible women who were previously excluded.

“This program is designed to ensure that every citizen has easy access to the services they are entitled to,” stated Minister Moorthy at the launch. “All department heads will be present at these camps, allowing citizens to register even complex issues like patta name changes and electricity connection requests online.”

The district administration has undertaken extensive outreach efforts, distributing approximately 85,000 pamphlets to inform residents about the camp locations, dates, and available services. Following Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s directive, petitions submitted during the camps will be addressed and resolved within 45 days.

Collector K. J. Praveen Kumar announced the locations for the initial camps scheduled for July 16th, highlighting the government’s commitment to reaching communities throughout the district.

However, concerns have been raised regarding accessibility for differently-abled individuals. A. Balamurugan, district secretary of the Tamil Nadu Association for the Rights of All Types of Differently Abled and Caregivers Association, pointed out that the camp scheduled for July 17th at the Tourism Department office near Periyar Bus Stand lacks necessary accessibility features, specifically ramps or railings for wheelchair users. He urged the district administration to rectify the situation before the camp commences to ensure equal access for all citizens.
