He said these officers would redress problems registered at the helpline. Information about government's welfare schemes and programmes could also be obtained through the helpline's toll-free number 181. Through this helpline, anyone could register his complaint or problem by dialling 181 from a cellphone or landline from anywhere.

He said the helpline would serve as a bridge between the people and the government.
