another for Complaints Seeking Information were designed.

 Complaints received from political parties used as inputs for
criticality assessment and deployment of forces at PSs.
 Response time to any complaint has a direct co-relation to the
confidence of a complainant. We ensured the shortest response
time to all complaints. (our minimum response time was 20 mins.).

sets, telephone lines, FAX lines and a dedicated team was
put in place to directly address the complaints aired on TV

complaints were found to be true.
