Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday launched an anti-corruption helpline number allowing people to upload videos of officials asking for a bribe or indulging in other malpractices.
The anti-corruption action line number – 9501200200 – has been launched on the martyrdom day of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev.
“I had promised to you that I will launch a phone number on March 23 which will be called an anti-corruption action line. The number is 9501200200,” said Mann and asked people to send videos of those who demand bribes from them.
Share only corruption-related videos on this number
The staff will examine the videos and whosoever is found guilty, be it an officer, our minister or an MLA, strict action will be taken against them, the CM said and urged people to share only corruption-related videos on this number.
Mann also sought the support of the people of Punjab in this regard.
“In this campaign, I need the support of 3 crore Punjabis. If you support, we will make Punjab a corruption-free state within a month,” said Mann in the video message.
Earlier, the CM paid tributes to legendary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh at Khatkar Kalan at SBS Nagar district.

Mann also paid tributes to Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev at Hussainiwala in Ferozepur to mark their martyrdom day.
In his tweet, Mann said, “Let’s make Punjab a corruption-free and prosperous state by realising the dreams of the great martyrs who laid down their precious lives for the country’s freedom.”
The Punjab government has declared a holiday on March 23, the martyrdom day of the freedom fighters.
