“The Whatsapp message once received will be acknowledged and forwarded to the concerned department and officer. Since Whatsapp is a highly accessible and prevalent app in today’s time. The addition of this feature will further increase the utility of the grievance redressal system,” said P.K. Agrawal, Consultant, Smart City Division, GMDA.
Additionally, the social media platforms of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have also been liaised with the complaint handling system of GMDA wherein the software will also track the complaints or issues raised by the public pertaining to the concerned departments on these social media portals which will be escalated to the concerned department for redressal.
In the earlier model of the Complaint Handling System of GMDA, the citizens could submit their complaints related to MCG, MCM and GMDA via the toll-free numbers, the MyGurugram App on mobile phones, or on the dedicated helpdesk established by GMDA for registering grievances.
GMDA has now added the provision for the citizen to submit the complaint through WhatsApp with a supporting photograph which will make registering a complaint more user-friendly.
