Recently, CM Bhagwant Mann has announced an Anti-Corruptionhelpline number where people can register all their grievances related to thecorruption they have faced.
A few months back, Gaurav Thakur, President of an NGO named‘Umeed’ based in Amritsar registered a complaint on the same helpline numberand also to the commissioner of Amritsar informing them about the corruptiongoing on in the Municipal Corporation Office. He submitted all the evidencelike documents, audio recordings, and important details about the officers whoall were involved in the corruption to them but no action has been taken byanyone against the officers till now. He also informed the officials that thishas been going on since the time of the Punjab Elections.
He has also registered the same complaint in the VigilanceBureau and local body of Punjab that the JE, Manjit Singh Saini is uneducatedand all his work is done by his right-hand Vikram.
Later, the president who reported against the officialsstarted getting threat calls and was pressurized by the officers to take backhis case. After all this, the President of Umeed NGO took the help ofsocial media platforms to raise his voice against the corruption going on butsoon after he did the same a defamation case was lodged against him by theofficers.
