A call away

While pressuring the Union government to act against corruption, a member of Team Anna — who was speaking from the dais — suggested the authorities should make a toll-free number such as 100 or 101 where people can lodge their complaints when an officer asks for bribe. The crowd misunderstood this statement and since then, the Delhi fire service is getting calls from people complaining against local authorities seeking bribes. Fire service officials are having a tough time explaining people that it was the fire service and not an anti-corruption complaint number.
