Delhi | Saturday | 15th September, 2018

Summary:

more-inIn the first four days of the Delhi government’s home delivery of services scheme being active, 76 callers had given addresses that turned out to be fake or wrong when the executive attempted to visit, sources said on Friday. The official added that when the mobile sahayak reached the spot, these callers either did not answer calls or said they did not want the service they had booked. On Monday, responding to rumours that a political party had hired call centres to flood the helpline with calls to derail the Aam Aadmi Party government’s project, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had tweeted: “Shocking, if true...”. The official said an analysis of the calls will be done over the next few days. From Monday till Thursday, the mobile sahayaks visited 372 addresses, of which 76 turned out not to exist or the caller who gave that address turned out not to be there, an official closely associated with the project said on Friday..
