New Delhi, January 13
After the Aam Aadmi Party’s maiden “janata darbar” ended in chaos on Saturday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today announced that he would no longer hold such public meetings, but people could register their grievances online or through post. But, Kejriwal said he would continue to meet people. The announcement was made after the “janata darbar” was suspended last week following overcrowding and stampede-like situation when Kejriwal had to leave midway and later addressed the crowd from the boundary wall of the Secretariat, assuring them of action on their problems.

“We are in process of setting up such a system that people can register their grievances online through our call centre and people do not have to come to me,” the CM said.

He said: “Grievances will be addressed by officials of the department concerned. All those who want to meet me can do so once a week. However, an online grievance system has been put in place for people to register their complaints.”

Meanwhile, in the wake of Saturday’s incident, as directed by the Home Ministry, the UP Police have decided to provide ‘Z’ plus security to the Delhi CM even as the latter continued to refuse.

“Though the Delhi CM has refused, we are providing him 24-hour ‘Z’ security. Two head constables and eight constables will be deployed outside his house from today. Besides, three PSOs and three gunners - two round-the-clock - will also be deployed as part of the Delhi CM’s security detail. He will be escorted by two vehicles with two head constables and six constables in Ghaziabad,” UP Police Reserve Inspector Harikant Dwivedi told The Tribune.
