Regarding misleading advertisements-to really book culprits-Govt ought to give a contact number/ address and not bother about the identity of the information giver, instead be concerned about the offender, only then can something be expected

Regarding misleading advertisements- citizens report but no offenders are booked.Govt officers are firstly not efficient, thanks to confirmed jobs, they are only concerned about signing the muster daily and drawing their salaries and perks, to hell with the duty, that is why offenders are so coolly sitting and operating without fear

citizens can report but the main point is someone should take concrete strict action against offenders, whenever we report nobody seems to be bothered.

See the advertisement by Government : No need of Aadhar for LPG subsidy. Just give bank account number. BUT in the form to be filled up and handed over, the Gov incorporated a clause that the consumer will obtain aadhar. Why take this undertaking if the government was truthful. Therefore the Government should show the way by being truthful. We are coerced to enrol for aadhar the dubious method to give our data to private operators with foreign links.
