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.
