Shortly after the tweet, the focal person again took to the popular micro-blogging site to ask people to just send their queries via the WhatsApp helpline.
“Dear brothers & sisters this is a WhatsApp text helpline, since my tweet, there is a flurry of calls on the number. Please dont call, just send your query via WhatsApp Text,” he tweeted.
