All Senior Officers were present on the occasion while the Heads of Regional Offices attended the event online. The representatives of the National Information Technology Board (NITB) who had helped in developing the website were also present.

The Wafaqi Mohtasib went on to say that the primary purpose of undertaking this exercise was to provide all necessary information to the website users and visitors,who were residing in the far-flung areas of the country and were unable to visit the Head Office or the Regional Offices. He expressed the confidence that with the launching of this website, all segments of the society would be able to benefit themselves from this facility and would be able to seek redressal of their grievances virtually at their doorstep.
