Khattar heard about 207 complaints and issued directives on the spot to resolve the same, it said.

Acting on a complaint received against an employee posted in the SDM Office Pehowa, the chief minister directed officials concerned to suspend him, the release said.

Most complaints received at darbar were regarding the supply of electricity, it said, adding that Khattar directed officers of the power department to launch a special campaign to raise awareness about a mobile app that tracks line losses.
