A complete, verified guide to every official channel for reaching the Chief Minister's office — from filing a grievance to requesting a meeting to reporting a bribe demand.
Whether you have a grievance about a government scheme, need to request a meeting with Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, or want to report a bribe demand, Tamil Nadu's government now offers several clear, official channels. Here's a complete, verified guide to each one.
The official CM grievance system accepts complaints online, routes them to the appropriate department, and lets you track progress until resolution.
Register with your mobile number, file a grievance in Tamil or English, attach supporting documents, photos or videos, track status using your grievance ID, and appeal if you're not satisfied with the resolution.
Available 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM, every day including government holidays.
The CM Helpline mobile app is available for Android and iOS, allowing you to submit and track grievances directly from your phone.
Signed petitions can be sent by post to the Special Officer, Mudhalvarin Mugavari Department, Secretariat, Chennai — 600009. For urgent matters, petitions can also be submitted in person at the Chief Minister's Special Cell or through the District Collector's grievance office, which forwards them through the official system.
If your complaint involves a government employee demanding a bribe, Tamil Nadu has just introduced a dedicated reporting channel. Chief Secretary N. Sai Kumar issued a circular this week directing every government office, board, and public sector undertaking in the state to prominently display bilingual anti-bribery notice boards carrying the contact details of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC).
Citizens can share evidence directly — messages, photographs, audio or video — of bribe demands by government officials. Complaints can also be emailed to dvac@nic.in, or called in at 044-22321090, 22321085, 22310989 or 22342142.
The Chief Minister's Office has released specific email addresses for different purposes. To request an appointment to personally meet CM Vijay, write to the address below with your full name, contact number, the purpose of the meeting, and a brief explanation of why it's needed, along with any supporting documents.
