District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) has launched a helpline facility to redress grievances of the public during the COVID-19 lockdown. It offers free legal assistance through telephone.
Women and men who faced domestic problems, children and elderly people who required assistance could send their complaint through WhatApp in the prescribed format to the DLSA helpline number.
Following the filing of the complaint, a counselling team comprising experts will contact the complainant for redressal. The public have to send a message through WhatsApp mentioning their name, age, gender and the grievance to the contact number.
