Hem Singh Markam from Pandaria in Kawardha district is narrating his experience of going to Gram Suraj meeting of Chief Minister.

When I again raised it with the officials before the yatra they said CM will solve it during the yatra. But nothing happened. I request the CM to at least fulfil 25% of the promises he makes.
