Press Trust of India New Delhi
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said a "robust" system is being put in place to probe allegations of corruption in various government departments and maintained that a Jan Lokapal Bill will soon be brought to root out graft.

The Chief Minister, after a meeting with top officials of the Vigilance Department, said a helpline will be launched by Thursday to facilitate citizens to file complaints of corruption and other irregularities against government officials.

Kejriwal said the government is also preparing a draft of Swaraj Bill and will implement it by January-end.

During the meeting, Kejriwal reviewed the functioning of the unit which probes allegations of graft in various government departments.
 

"The helpline number will be launched by Thursday. I have announced from Ramlila Ground during the oath-taking ceremony that a helpline number would be started to register corruption complaints and catch officials seeking bribe red-handed.

"Since then, we have been working on it and now the system is ready. Besides that, some officials have been given training", Kejriwal told reporters after the meeting.
