Kozhikode Collector’s FB page sees emotionally moving posts

From COVID-19 portal to Nammude Kozhikode, Seeram Sambasiva Rao’s contributions lauded

District Collector Seeram Sambasiva Rao’s official Facebook page on Thursday saw many emotionally moving posts subsequent to the State government’s order to transfer him as the new Director of Survey and Land Records Department. It was mostly the youth and frontline health workers who virtually stepped in to acknowledge his leadership role as the Collector which helped the district stage a good fight during the most critical time. Many of them pointed out that it was Mr. Rao’s technical skills and vision that led to the perfect launch of the COVID-19 Jagratha portal. Though it was firstly designed with a mission to streamline various COVID-19 related services in Kozhikode district, the State government accepted it as the best tool for the whole State. T.K. Biju, one of the Facebook page followers, described him as “a silent warrior” who never tried to hog the limelight. There were many others who endorsed the feeling that Mr. Rao was “unassuming” in his role as Collector and approachable for all to express their grievances. Even during the pandemic time, many key developmental projects faced no roadblock, they observed.
