“We initiated the ‘Speak Out’ helpline Oct 25, during our vigilance awareness week from Oct 25 to Nov 1. Within two days of introduction, it has received a good response,” a senior CVC official told IANS.
He also said that the number of complaints received by the helpline was increasing every day, and CVC will soon decide on remedial action.
“The common man is aware of corruption issues and is getting information via Right To Information Act. This trend of blowing whistle against corruption should continue,” the official informed.
