This would ensure delivery of various public services in a time-bound manner, the MNM founder said in a statement
Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder Kamal Haasan on Friday urged the State government to immediately enact a Right to Services Act, which he said would ensure delivery of various public services by government agencies within a particular time frame, and also help to curb corruption.
“If it is enacted today, which is the last day of the first Assembly session of 2022, it would be most welcome. It would ensure services like obtaining ration cards, legal heir certificates and death certificates among others are delivered within a specific time frame from the date of application and there is the possibility of penalty for deficiency of service,” he said in a statement.
