Delhi woke up to a slew ads announcing that the Chief Minister's Helpline for women in distress was ready to assist. Except it wasn't. The much-promoted '181' toll-free helpline ran into what officials described as technical glitches. By 6 pm, the helpline was up and running, sort of. It rang out when a reporter tried it, but another call placed from the NDTV office went through.
