IAS Sanjeev Jaiswal to Chair MHADA's 23rd Lokshahi Din

MHADA to Organize 23rd Lokshahi Din on November 16, 2026, Under IAS Sanjeev Jaiswal’s Chairmanship in Mumbai

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) will hold its 23rd Lokshahi Din (Public Grievance Day) on Monday, November 16, 2026, at its headquarters in Bandra East, Mumbai. The program will begin at 12:00 noon in the conference hall on the fourth floor and will be chaired by MHADA Vice President and Chief Executive Officer IAS Sanjeev Jaiswal.

The initiative provides citizens with an opportunity to raise personal complaints, discuss pending issues directly with officials, and seek timely solutions through a transparent grievance redressal process.

MHADA's 23rd Public Grievance Day to Address Citizens' Concerns

MHADA has been organizing Lokshahi Din on the second Monday of every month since January 2024. The initiative aims to make public services more accessible by giving citizens a direct platform to present their concerns to the authority.

With the upcoming November session, MHADA will have completed 23 Lokshahi Din programs. During the previous 22 sessions, citizens received opportunities to discuss their grievances directly with the concerned officers and seek appropriate action.

Direct Interaction With MHADA Officials Helps Resolve Pending Complaints

One of the key objectives of Lokshahi Din is to address complaints that have remained unresolved for extended periods. During these sessions, applicants can explain their concerns directly to officials, allowing the administration to understand individual cases and take appropriate steps.

The process also encourages greater transparency and accountability within MHADA. Regular reviews of complaints help ensure that applications receive attention and that citizens are informed about the progress of their cases.

Before each session, Jaiswal reviews the action taken by the concerned departments on complaints submitted during earlier Lokshahi Din programs. This follow-up process helps monitor progress and strengthens communication between citizens and the housing authority.

How to Apply for MHADA Lokshahi Din in Mumbai

Citizens interested in participating in the November 16 session must follow MHADA's application guidelines.

• Applications must be submitted at least 15 days before the scheduled Lokshahi Din.
• Applicants must submit two copies of the application.
• The application must be completed using the prescribed format.
• Complaints must relate to the applicant's personal or individual grievances.

The application form is available on the official MHADA website under the 'For Citizens' section and the 'Lokshahi Din' category.

Which Applications Are Not Eligible for Lokshahi Din?

MHADA has specified certain categories of complaints that will not be considered during the public grievance session. These include:

• Cases that are already pending before a court.
• Revenue-related matters and appeals.
• Service-related and establishment-related complaints.
• Applications that do not follow the prescribed format.
• Applications submitted without the required supporting document copies.
• Repeated complaints for which a final response has already been provided or is scheduled to be issued.
• Representations that do not concern the applicant's personal grievances.

These guidelines help MHADA focus the sessions on individual public complaints that fall within the scope of the initiative.

MHADA to Forward Ineligible Applications Within Eight Days

Citizens whose applications do not meet the Lokshahi Din guidelines will still have a channel for further action. MHADA has clarified that applications that cannot be accepted during the session will be forwarded to the relevant department within eight days.

A copy of the forwarded application will also be provided to the applicant, helping them understand where their complaint has been directed for further action.

Through its monthly Lokshahi Din initiative, MHADA continues to provide citizens with a structured platform to raise personal concerns, communicate directly with officials, and follow up on pending complaints.
