Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, on Monday, launched CM’s Helpline 1905 which aims to bridge the distance between the people of the state and the government. He says that he wants to get rid of the obstacles to the development of the state.
CM’s Helpline is for the people of Tripura
This helpline number has a dedicated call centre service which will keep an eye on the complaints coming directly from the people of the state and then these complaints will be forwarded to the respective departments for the necessary and required actions.
According to the CM, if the person who makes the complaint is happy or satisfied with the action the call will close, however, if they are not then the concerned department will take the required action within just a few days.
Moreover, the call centre is set up in the premises of Information Technology (IT) Bhawan which is built-in Agartala.
CM Deb’s interaction with the common folk
With the launch’s focus mainly on the interaction between the CM and the people, after the launch, he also had a talk with them directly face-to-face while giving instructions to the officials to take necessary measures.
During the launching event, CM Deb also says that he wants to end the politics which creates obstacles in every area of development.
He claims, “I have talked with two people, one from Ranirbazar in Jirania subdivision and another person called from Indranagar in Agartala. Now, I or my officials do not know from which political background they belong. I want to end this culture. Politics should be confined to the election period while rest of the time, people should know us for our work in the sector of public utility.”
