A day after Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan inquired from an Indore resident status of a complaint he had made on government’s helpline, Indore Municipal Corporation commissioner asked the officials to act promptly on local complaints received on this helpline.

Commissioner Rakesh Singh, who was in Bhopal for official work, returned to city on Friday and held a meeting with corporation officials, instructing them to attend such complaints on priority.

“Appropriate action should be taken to solve complaints lodged on CM’s helpline within 24 hours.
If the complaint includes any financial or budget related query, then the concerned officer should mark his/her comment along with the date of solving the complaint,” Singh told the officials during the meeting.
