The public outreach programme, conducted on Thursday, saw the participation of numerous citizens seeking resolutions to their grievances.
Addressing the gathering, Naik urged officials to consider citizen services as a duty rather than a favour, emphasising the importance of prompt action on public complaints.
According to PTI, out of the 741 complaints received, 36 were resolved on the spot.
Minister Naik assured the complainants that they would receive responses regarding their grievances within 15 days, ensuring accountability from the authorities.
During the event, the minister also spoke about tourism in Palghar, criticising the alleged excessive scrutiny of resorts in the region.
Naik defended resort owners, stating that they should not be treated as criminals and highlighting the importance of promoting tourism for economic growth and employment opportunities.
"Resort owners are not criminals. Tourism must be encouraged to create employment opportunities. Officials should work in coordination with resort owners, the district collector, sub-divisional officers, and tehsildars to resolve any disputes amicably," he stated, as per PTI reports.
Naik further underscored Palghar’s rapid development, asserting that the district is on the path to becoming the "fourth Mumbai" due to several major infrastructure projects in progress, including the Vadhavan Port.
The janata darbar serves as a direct platform for citizens to voice their concerns, and Naik assured that the government would work towards resolving issues efficiently.
