AAP Govt's anti-graft helpline receives overwhelming response

Officials said if a complaint is considered serious, a team of anti-corruption sleuths would help the complainant on how to conduct a sting operation to trap the accused and collect the “first evidence”. The government's vigilance team after receiving evidence will pursue each case within 24 hours.

Kejriwal said a four digit number will be made available in a couple of days as the helpline number so that people can easily remember it.

“The response to the helpline has been tremendous. There was huge traffic on the number,” the Chief Minister said, adding only 824 calls could be attended out of around 4,000 calls till 3 PM.

“I want to congratulate people for proving to be very good anti-corruption inspector. They have done a good job. If citizens of Delhi get together they can create fear in the mind of officials. They are many officials who are honest. We have to identify the rotten fish,” he said.

Kejriwal said addressing public grivances was one of the top priorities of his government.

“Public grievance is another major issue. It is a major issue for any government. It is the duty  of every government to resolve those grievances. Public grievance is just a symptom, disease lies somewhere else,” Kejriwal said.
