Fed up with pothole ridden roads? From November 1 onwards, you just
have to click a photo from your mobile and upload it on the BBMP website
and the civic body has committed to fixing it within a specific time
frame. That, says the new and enthusiastic BBMP commissioner Rajneesh
Goel, is a first of its kind initiative and a Rajyotsava gift to the
pot-holed city. Last count, there were 30,000 potholes on city’s roads.
In an innovative move the BBMP in association with the KEONICS, is
developing Android based mobile phone (with GPS) application for
accepting complaints from the public and attending to it through
Geographical Positioning System (GPS), said BBMP commissioner Rajneesh
Goel. People can upload the photo of the pothole on to the BBMP server
which will be automatically sent to the engineer concerned.
This is a very good initiative.. But authorities will very soon lose interest as it happens in every other program that comes up. e.g.: Removal of cattle from Delhi & fining public littering in Mumbai.
