‘Amma Call Centre’ launched

Chennai: In a bid to make governance more accessible to the public, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has launched the 'Amma Call Centre', which would function round the clock to receive calls from citizens. The call centre would receive calls made through the toll-free number 1100, manned by 138 people in the initial phase, to receive at least 15,000 calls per day. “Based on the need, more persons would be added to the call centre,” an official release said. Details of the grievances from callers would be sent to officials concerned, through e-mail, phone call and text messages.
