Mamata Banerjee on Monday announced a grievance cell and a toll-free number to deal with complaints of irregularities and corruption in delivery of welfare schemes being implemented by the Bengal government. The announcement came after an administrative review meeting convened by the chief minister at Nabanna on Monday. “The chief minister had repeatedly asked Trinamul leaders to stay away from syndicates or illegal trades of sand and coal. He admitted that taking action against party leaders was not easy particularly if he was important in the organisational set-up. Mamata also said the government couldn’t stop its welfare schemes to revise the employees’ salaries.
