HYDERABAD: Alleging gross injustice at the hands of the State government which has removed some of the services from the ambit of MeeSeva centres, the Telangana Mee Seva Joint Action Committee (TMJAC) on Friday demanded the withdrawal of a proposal to bring down the number of MeeSeva centres.
They have also sought to increase the commissions on their services offered and also re-introduction of services that were taken away from MeeSeva centres. The MeeSeva franchisees across the State, they said, will stop delivering services from November 1.
Currently, around 4,500 Meeseva centres are functioning in the Telangana.
TMJAC members allege that MeeSeva centres that used to issue birth certificate, death certificate, and other corrections in these documents earlier are not being allowed to do so since the last two months.
According to them, the revenue department officials also continue to harass the franchise operators. At a press conference on Friday, the TMJAC members alleged that the State government did not hold any meetings with the MeeSeva franchise operators to review the issues of the centres.
Speaking to mediapersons, Baira Shankar, president of TMJAC, said, “The government has failed to increase the commission for services to the franchise operators. He said that the MeeSeva centres have been providing government services to citizens without any hassle and ensuring transparency.”
He also requested State government to withdraw the decision to move aadhaar enrolment services from MeeSeva centres.
