We do not have Quality Personnel in Government Offices to take Strict and immediate actions. Nothing required further accept strengthening what we have. The corrupted staff should be replaced with young dynamic and Honest team in each city which will work for the Object of wiping out Misleading Advertisers. I am ready to be team member of such a team without monetary reward. I Only need Authority, Access and Permissions to act.

Dear P.M. Sir, There should be a Portal/Web and/or a Toll Free Number where any citizen can logged complaints against misleading Advertisements , and also there should be mechanism to ensure privacy and confidentiality of every individual who is logging complaints against such advertisements so that any one can register/log there complaints without any fear. And also i think there must be a separate department / regularity body who regularly Examines those complaints and take necessary Actions

There is a need to realign the efforts of the industry and government to impart quality training expeditiously to India’s youth to make them employable. The Govt. of India to explore possibility of experts in various field to stimulate IT sector in the country to raise the quality of skilled manpower. It’s understood that GOI is preparing a Policy Note to appoint Senior Administrative posts from Corporate Executives. The GOI should explore real talented executives from Linked-in.

Dear PM SIR SWACHH BHARAT ABHYAN is a excellent moment but all this would be waste if dump yards near our colony n houses will be filled with construction debris than alone dry and wet waste.i would request you to guide all the corporations and municipality to charge heavy penalties on all such dump done by residents. I would request you to please look into option of biogas from wet waste collected from households this way the requirement of LPG will be reduced and environment will be saved .

I guess we do have technology, Legal Statutes and valid proof but We do not have Quality Personnel in Government Offices to take Strict and immediate actions. Nothing required further accept strengthening what we have.

advertisement with authentic source of origin and clear accountability point should only be allowed to be published in any media. a very heavy penalty mechanism of the misleading advertisement should be created with adequate enforcement mechanism. the penalty should be calculated based on the losses and expenditure in corrective measures. minimum it should be double to losses+expenditure of corrective measure. for getting real effective outcome, the rule should be equally applicable to all.

Citizens should share their expereince about the product or service (for which misleading advertisement is issued) with their friends and relatives so that a large numbe of people become aware and do not use that product or service. This will reduce the sale of the products /service and hopefully the sellers of those product/service s will get the message.
