Jaipur. The Anti-Corruption Bureau has taken a new initiative to catch the bribe-takers in Rajasthan and to provide relief to the people troubled by bribery demands. ACB has issued helpline WhatsApp numbers. Now people troubled by bribery can call on this number and register their complaint. For this, ACB officials are reaching towns and raising awareness among the people by giving information about WhatsApp numbers and toll free numbers. Ravi Prakash Meharda has started this exercise after taking charge as DG ACB.
ACB DG Ravi Prakash Mehrada says that ACB had issued toll free number 1064 to the public for complaints of bribery. Now WhatsApp helpline number 9413502834 has been issued for them. Till now, the public was given the option to complain about corrupt public servants on WhatsApp helpline number. But now along with messages on WhatsApp helpline numbers, the facility of complaint by making WhatsApp call has also been started.
50 to 60 complaints are coming daily
According to DG Ravi Prakash Meharda, ACB receives at least 50 to 60 complaints daily on toll free number 1064. At the same time, messages come on WhatsApp. The complaint which is actionable is forwarded to the concerned ACB post in-charge for verification and action. Many times, after giving the complaint, the concerned department refuses to take action due to its own work or for some other reason. Therefore, action is not taken on the complaint.
The identity of the complainant will be kept confidential
DG Ravi Prakash Meharda has appealed to the general public that if any public servant or broker is demanding bribe from you in exchange for doing work in any department, then you should complain by dialing ACB’s toll free number 1064 or by sending a message or calling on WhatsApp mobile number 9413502834. The identity of the complainant will be kept confidential.
Zero tolerance policy against corruption
Rajasthan’s new CM Bhajan Lal has adopted a zero tolerance policy against corruption and has instructed the ACB to take strict action against bribe takers. In such a situation, ACB officers are also engaged in spreading awareness against corruption by going among the common people and communicating with them and publicizing these toll free numbers and Whatsapp numbers so that Rajasthan can become corruption free.
