Dear PM Sir, BHUBANESWAR is capital of Odisha, but there is frequent cut of electricity supply in homes, which reminds the citizen that, though TATA POWER has taken over for the Distribution System, the frequent interruption of electric supply can come to conclusion of either shortage of power supply or faulty “Faulty Detection System”, may be due to poor skill of field staff. This is not at all acceptable. Hope this point is well taken up and citizens get relieved from the poor quality of life…

Dear Sir, I may get dislikes..The following are sections of society which may think of Suicide.Recently married women-Dowri,Students-fail in exam,Youngsters- love failure,married young me- Borrowings and online rummy.. My suggestion is we have to create an app called KNOW YOUR PERSONALITY and inthat any one can login with ph no dob marital status...There should be quiz or it should be like play..The psychological questions should be asked which included suicidal thoughts...ie Many questions should be there in general,and there should be about 4-5 qns from suicidal thought..The player should not understand this intention and should not be revealed too.If any woman is facing dowry problem and she is in dilemma that you live or die...immediately her parents should be informed and she should be brought to her parents house... It is a kind of imagination...readers should excuse me if it is wrong.. the app should give score and motivate ...and advise the people if they are idesire of dowry

As a citizen/user, I would like to make the following suggestions to enhance digital accessibility for persons with disabilities: Screen Reader Compatibility: Ensure all government and public-facing websites and apps are fully compatible with popular screen readers like NVDA, JAWS, and TalkBack. Color Contrast & Font Sizes: Enforce minimum contrast ratios and provide scalable font options to help users with low vision or color blindness. Keyboard Navigation: Websites should be fully navigable using only a keyboard, helping users with motor disabilities. Video & Audio Accessibility: Mandate closed captions for videos and transcripts for audio content to support users with hearing impairments. Indian Language Accessibility: En

Dear PM Sir, two players named Bobby Das and Karthikeyan Pandyan are creating problems in the BJP ruled state Government in ODISHA, being influenced by state government OAS and IAS officers who are in the habit of mis-governance right from the day BJD was ruling the state for last 24 years.

It is highly necessary to curb the key players who had to be under ED’s investigation…
