Applications are being accepted three hours before the start of the event. The counters will be closed only after ensuring that the last complaint has been received.

There are volunteers to manage the crowd at the counters and assist the complainants. It has been instructed that special care should be taken in the case of senior citizens and differently-abled persons. Applicants must include complete address and phone number. The complainant receives the information including the phone number of the officer for further action as a mobile message as per the complaint docket number.

Some have changed their minds after seeing the public participation in Sadas: Chief Minister

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that after realizing the people's participation in Navakerala Sadas, some of the UDF members have changed, and this is shown by the action of TN Prathapan MP, who gave notice for an urgent motion in the Lok Sabha to end the neglect towards Kerala. He was inaugurating Navakerala Sadas in the Kaipamangalam constituency.

The central government is taking a hostile approach towards Kerala, which is a model for India. The Center is cutting all the funds that Kerala is entitled to, including tax allocation and loans. They are also blocking KIIFB. The state is being economically crushed. The 18 MPs of UDF who were supposed to question this in Parliament did not say a word. The government called a meeting and asked for it, but nothing was done. After seeing the people's support for the government in Navakerala Sadas, there is some change in them too. Even though the facts are not correct, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also had to come to Kerala and say 'We are giving Kerala everything it needs' because of public support.

When the LDF came to power again in 2021, the UDF lost their ground. Their position is that they will not allow any development activities to be implemented. Kerala will move forward by overcoming these kinds of malicious activities. The Chief Minister said that we are preparing New Kerala for the state and the people, not based on party politics, religion or caste.
