Pimpri Chinchwad: In a forward-thinking move, Shekhar Singh, the Municipal Commissioner of Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC), has taken to social media to foster direct communication with the community and address civic issues effectively. In a recent tweet, Singh expressed his eagerness to be more active on the platform and invited residents to utilize social media as a channel to share their concerns.
The tweet, which was posted on July 28 at 9.35 PM, highlights the commissioner’s commitment to public service. By leveraging the power of social media, Singh aims to bridge the gap between the municipal corporation and the residents, creating a platform for open dialogue and swift problem-solving.
The hashtag #MyPCMC has been introduced to encourage residents to share their civic concerns, ideas, and suggestions with the commissioner. By using the hashtag, residents can directly reach out to Singh and the official PCMC Sarathi handle, ensuring their voices are heard and their issues acknowledged.
The move has been well-received by PCMC residents, who have welcomed the initiative as a progressive step towards transparent governance and active community engagement. Social media’s widespread accessibility and popularity make it an ideal platform to connect with a diverse and vast audience, enabling the municipal corporation to reach citizens from all walks of life.
Singh in his tweet said, “Hello #PCMC residents! Hoping to be more active on #X, utilizing Social Media to address civic issues & foster direct communication with the community. Do share your concerns using #MyPCMC, tag me & @PCMCSarathi, and let’s resolve your problems together. #PublicService #CommunityFirst” Citizens have responded enthusiastically to the commissioner’s invitation, sharing their concerns, suggestions, and appreciations using #MyPCMC. The hashtag has quickly become a hub for civic discussions, showcasing the community’s proactive engagement with the governing body.
My twitter users have started using the hashtag to bring to the PCMC’s notice the potholes caused due to monsoon as well as encroachment on roads.
As more residents join the conversation using #MyPCMC, the impact of this digital engagement is bound to ripple across the community, fostering an inclusive and dynamic approach to problem-solving and governance.
