Andhra Pradesh: App To Registe Complaints On Corruption!

AP's government has taken a major step toward ending corruption. It has developed a mobile app for people to complain about corruption among government officials and staff.

The authorities on the instructions of CM Jagan created the mobile app. The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has developed the '14400 App’.

The app is designed to make people immediately similarly complain about corruption. The ACB has been operating a 14400 toll-free number for some time for complaints of corruption.

Complaints can only be made with this number. ACB officials, who then conduct raids and checks, answer phone calls to the toll-free number.

However, some officials are wary of staff taking bribes. They are told to hand over the bribes to their agents without taking them directly.

Officials said ACB had created the 14400 apps to put an end to such problems and provide an opportunity to immediately report corruption with evidence. Awareness seminars on the use of this app at district, municipality, Mandal, and panchayat levels are provided through the village and ward secretariat system
