Ahead of this civic gathering, residents have been informed that they must submit their grievances by October 19, 2026, a 15-day deadline before the event.\n\nAccording to the General Administration Department of Maharashtra, grievances must be submitted in advance, not on the day itself. Citizens must submit their formal complaints in duplicate at the Citizens Facilitation Centre, situated at TMC headquarters. Each submission must include a completed Prapatra-1 (B) form, available at the facilitation centre.\n\nThe forum will only consider grievances that were previously filed at the Circle-level (Parimandal) Lokshahi Din and have not been resolved within a month. When filing their appeal at the headquarters, applicants must reference the token number issued during their earlier Circle-level submission.\n\nHowever, several categories of applications will be disqualified. Only one complaint per application is permitted; multiple complaints in a single form will result in automatic rejection. The forum will not accept matters related to establishment affairs, pending court or Lokayukta cases, Right to Information (RTI) Act requests, submissions on official letterheads, or those printed by political parties, councillors, or private organizations. Additionally, non-personal general grievances and cases with final decisions are ineligible.",
