Shimla: Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur launched a helpline by dialling 1100, for the speedy and time-bound redressal of grievances by the use of latest technologies.
The Chief Minister said the main focus of the government was to ensure that the issues related to
the public were redressed at the earliest.
Himachal Pradesh has now become the fourth state in the country to have such a helpline.
The best practices of the helpline, functioning in three other states, have been adopted by the state Information Technology Department so that the helpline emerges as the best in the country.
He said the people would now be able to register their complaints online and also monitor the progress with a click.
Thakur said 56 departments have been involved in this helpline by geo-mapping and geo-tagging. This would also help in making the whole procedure paperless and lessen the footfall in government offices, he added.
