A fifth user said, "When main roads become parking lots due to unplanned development people have no choice when they are delayed in going to the office."

"Why doesn't administration set video/audio verification team allowing public to catch/record/inform such violation? there are lot of illegal activites in govt offices. public can easily record through audio/video devices and inform and authority can justify later and take action," a sixth said.

A seventh user said, "Her company name should be revealed so that other job aspirants should avoid applying there."

"Her company & managers name should be revealed and an FIR lodged on the company ceo & manager. CEO's claiming to work 90 hours have made these meaningless meetings & deliverables which is exploited," an eighth user said.
