How to file complaints about government offices to West Bengal CMO Public Grievance System (PGMS)?

If you have complaints about government offices (municipal corporation, Nagar Palika/Parishad, Bangla Sahayta Kendra, gram panchayats, collectorate, police, etc.), departments, and ministries of West Bengal, lodge an online public grievance to the Appellate Authority of respective departments through the “West Bengal CMO - Public Grievance Monitoring System (PGMS)” portal of the government of West Bengal.

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