The people, who could not travel from far off places and did not have access, could file their complaints at the portal, he added.

The minister said Prime Minister Imran Khan had issued the instructions that the citizens' complaints should be resolved.

Some 2.9 million citizens were registered on the portal, 2.5 million of them had filed complaints with 2.3 million resolved, he added.

He said 586,000 citizens had confirmed that their issues were resolved through the portal.
