Sullia, May 23: In a situation where an elderly woman complained about her son neglecting her and refusing to allow her to stay at home, the tahsildar led a team of officials to the son's house and persuaded him to take her in. This incident occurred in Mandekolu.

Sheshamma, residing in Kalladka Peraaje in Mandekolu village, lodged a complaint with the tahsildar, expressing that she was unwell and staying at her daughter's house but desired to return to her own home.

Upon receiving the complaint, tahsildar G Manjunath, accompanied by taluk panchayat EO Paramesh, CDPO Shailaja, Mandekolu PDO Ramesh, Mandekolu village administrator Ajay, and Sheshamma’s three daughters, convened a discussion at the taluk office.

The daughters conveyed their mother's wish to return home but expressed concern over her being prevented from doing so. They also proposed to care for her at their mother's residence. Subsequently, a team led by the tahsildar escorted Sheshamma to her residence in Mandekolu Kalladka Peraje. A detailed discussion ensued with Sheshamma’s son and daughter-in-law present.

The tahsildar, EO, and Saraswati Kamath elucidated the importance of attending to the needs of the elderly mother and persuaded the son to assume responsibility. They also counselled the three daughters, offering them guidance. Sheshamma was then escorted into the house. The three married daughters assured the tahsildar that they would take turns staying at the house to care for their mother. The team, under the tahsildar's leadership, effectively resolved this family dispute through their intervention.
