As part of the e-MODOP project, the portal www.emodop.com has been developed. Of the many services proposed to be offered, one is the Online Public Grievances (Redress) System. Through this system, citizens can air their grievances online. Upon successful submission, a unique ‘grievance number’ is generated and provided to the complainant.
