Changes to File Complaints in Government Departments

Why in News?

Recently, to prevent fake complaints, the Uttarakhand government has made it  mandatory to submit an affidavit when filing a complaint.

Key Points

• Issue with False Details: Complaints with incorrect addresses and phone numbers have been found, leading to the new requirement.
• Affidavit Requirement: An affidavit must now be submitted with complaints to prevent fake submissions.
• Objective: The affidavit requirement aims to ensure accurate and valid complaints are registered and handled appropriately.
• Reason: The move addresses the issue of false complaints, which waste resources and time, and helps ensure only genuine complaints are processed.
