Anti corrution helpiine of Delhi Govenment gets massive response
New Delhi: The anti-corruption helpline, introduced by the Delhi Government, received nearly 4,000 calls in the first seven hours of its operation.
If a complaint is considered serious, a team of officials would help the complainant on how to conduct a sting operation to trap the accused. The government’s vigilance team after receiving evidence will pursue the case.
“Public grievance is a symptom, the disease is something else,” Kejriwal told a press conference.
He said considering the “huge response”, the government has decided to increase the number of helpline staff from current 15 officials to 30 by Friday.
He said on Saturdays, the entire cabinet will sit to hear grievances of the public from 9:30 am to 11 am. On weekdays, one minister will receive grievances from the public.
Officials said after receiving evidence from complaints, anti-corruption sleuths will swing into action and start working on the cases within 24 hours.
