Minister in the Ministry of Local Government Rudranath Indarsingh, who also attended the event, said the Government plans to establish 134 full-time offices for local government representatives.
He said in the past people were unable to meet their local representatives since they did not have office and regular hours to meet citizens.
That is changing with the state now funding an office and providing essential support for every local government representative in the country.
Indarsingh said the offices of councillors would also be a hub for people seeking information about government services while being able to meet with their councillors on a regular basis.
