Live! AAP is hiring: 4000 calls in 7 hours for Kejri's anti-graft cell, staff needed

January 09, 2014 18:24

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government's helpline in Delhi for complaints against corrupt officers received over 4,000 calls in its first seven hours.

The deluge led to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asking for staff manning the helpline to be tripled by tomorrow. Citizens have been asked to dial the helpline number, (011) 27357169 between 8 am and 10 pm, for any corruption complaint.

The calls are sifted and only the genuine complaints are transferred to a team of 15 experts, who advise callers on conducting a sting operation.
