don't just crib, make a complaint.

Government of India has developed an 'Online Grievance Forum'

http://pgportal.gov.in/.

The government wants people to use this tool to highlight the problems they face while dealing with Government officials or departments like Passport Office, Electricity board, BSNL/MTNL, Railways etc. Many of us say that these things don't work in India.

Couple of months back, the Faridabad Municipal Corporation laid new roads in his area and the residents were very happy about it. But two weeks later, BSNL dug up the newly laid roads to install new cables which annoyed all the residents. A resident used the above listed grievance forum to highlight his concern. To his surprise, BSNL and Municipal Corporation of Faridabad were served a show cause notice and the complainant received a copy of the notice in one week. Government has asked the MC and BSNL about the goof up as it's clear that both departments were not in sync at all.

So use this grievance forum and educate others who don't know about this facility.

This is one way we can raise our concerns in India.
