Coronavirus lockdown: Supply helplines not very helpful
The district administration’s helplines for residents to procure essential commodities, floated on Tuesday, may not be working efficiently in the state capital during the lockdown.
The Telegraph placed an order for essential items through one of the district administration’s WhatsApp numbers 8292268300 at 6pm on Wednesday to check how well or if at all the system works. However, till 6pm on Thursday, the order was not delivered.
On Thursday at 10.30pm, after not getting any response to the order placed, The Telegraph called up DC Rai Mahimapat Ray to tell him about the status. The DC asked for a screenshot of the order and suggested waiting for some time. Nothing happened.
