How can I file complaints about government offices to Maharashtra CMO Public Grievance System (Aaple Sarkar)?

If you have complaints about government offices (municipal corporations, Nagar Palika/Parishad (block), panchayats, collectorate, police, etc.), departments, and ministries of Maharashtra, lodge an online public grievance to the Appellate Authority of respective departments through the “Aaple Sarkar Maharashtra CMO Public Grievance Redressal System (PGRS)” portal of the government of Maharashtra.

You can complain about government schemes, demand new civic services (hospitals, public works, schools/colleges, drainage/bridges, roads, etc.), corrupt practices or misuse of power by officials/employees, and other disputes (agriculture schemes/subsidy, public transit, food supply, ration cards, etc.).

:tipping_hand_man:t5: Note: To register your grievance, call at the toll-free CM helpline number 18001208040. You can escalate the grievance about public services to the State Commissioner of the Right to Service (RTS) Commission by emailing ccrts@maharashtra.gov.in.
