If you have complaints about citizen services, government offices (municipal corporation, Nagar Palika/Parishad, gram panchayats, police, etc.), departments, and ministries of Punjab, lodge an online public grievance to the Appellate Authority of respective departments through “Connect Punjab - Public Grievance Redressal System” portal of the government of Punjab.
You can complain about government schemes, demand for new services/infrastructure (hospitals, schools/colleges, drainage/bridges, roads, etc.), corrupt practices or misuse of power by public officials/employees, and other disputes (registry of land records, property disputes, public transportation, food supply, etc.).

- Address: Department of Governance Reforms and Public Grievances, Government of Punjab, Plot No. D-241, Industrial Area, Phase – 8B, Sector – 74, Mohali – 160071.
