City student launches anti-corruption site

PUNE: Aditya Palnitkar, a std 10 student of the Abhinav Vidyalay, has launched a website to fight corruption, and has dedicated it to anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare. The site, www.corruptionfree.in, was launched a few days ago in Pune and Bangalore. The website will make it possible for students and citizens to report cases of bribery, cheating, overcharging, forcible donations, extortion, scams and harassment in government offices by simply using their mobile phones.
Reports will be made available to media and enforcement authorities. The website (http://corruptionfree.in) is unique in the sense that citizens can report corruption via SMS, email or Twitter without even visiting the website," said 14-year-old Aditya.
Citizens can simply use their mobile phone to send a detailed report via SMS to 8446324670 or by email to email@corruptionfree.in.
"Now citizens can use their mobile phones to report corruption via SMS or email as soon as it happens and it is possible to even attach a picture. This will make reporting of corruption instant, simple and confidential," Aditya said. The website has been launched in Pune and Bangalore, and will be soon launched in other Indian cities as well.
