CVC sets up anti-corruption hotline

THE appointment of CVC may be spewing controversies but the CVC as an institution has been doing its job. On the occasion of Vigilance Awareness Week it set up a toll-free hotline number 1800-11-1180. For this purpose, 10 dedicated phone lines have been installed in the Commission for lodging complaints by citizens. These complaints are forwarded to the Chief Vigilance Officer/Competent Authority concerned for taking necessary action and report.

The Central Vigilance Commission’s toll free number accessible to all citizens in all the States/UTs of the country. There is no proposal to install separate facility in the States/UTs.

This was stated by the Minister of State Mr V.Narayanasamy in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha yesterday.
