New Delhi: A day after taking oath as Punjab’s chief minister, Bhagwant Mann made a first-of-its-kind announcement on Thursday – launch of an anti-corruption helpline.
Mann, who delivered a resounding victory for Aam Aadmi Party in the recent Punjab assembly election, said the helpline will be launched on March 23, Shaheed Diwas, whereby and people of the state will be able to lodge complaints on corruption via WhatsApp.
The helpline will be his personal WhatsApp number.
“In Punjab, if someone demands a bribe from you, don’t refuse, make a video/audio recording and send it to that number. My office will investigate and no culprit will be spared,” said the CM.
Claiming that no one has taken such a decision till date, Mann said the state government will bring in pro-people policies after being handed a historic mandate – 92 seats out of 117.
