This helpline number will provide 24/7 service, stated a press release issued by the commissioner's office.

The NRIs can contact this helpline number through calls, voice messages, SMS, WhatsApp audio, and video messages and can express their grievance. Already, several calls on various types of grievances were addressed on the WhatsApp group Samanvaya, a Covid coordination platform. The calls regarding help will be addressed with the assistance of voluntary organisations of the Samanvaya Covid coordination group. Once the serious or sensitive calls have been brought to the notice of nodal officers of the various department appointed by the district administration and to the Covid-19 task force, they will be resolved.

    Good Initiative by Shashi Kumar Sir. There are lot of people want to Travel from Mangalore to Gulf. People who wish to go back, govt should give vaccine on priority. But in some countries covaxin is not approved. Govt. should talk to these countries to approve covaxin as lot of people have administered covaxin doses.
