Petitioning President a click away
Times News Network 27 July 2009

NEW DELHI: Rashtrapati Bhavan is coming closer to the common man with  
a little help from technology.

President Pratibha Patil launched a helpline portal that will not only  
allow citizens to register their grievances online but track them to  
various ministries as well. The portal will allow people to petition  
the President directly.

The portal — http://helpline.rb.nic.in — promises to process petitions  
and direct them to relevant departments within seven working days.

"This portal is the beginning of a new chapter in Rashtrapati Bhavan.  
We receive an average 400 petitions per day from people. We have set  
up this portal so that people have a mechanism by which they know what  
is happening to their petition," said Christy Fernandez, secretary to  
the President.
