With this regard,the officials need to work actively,understanding and introspecting their responsibilities.

In addition,’Fix My Street’ app,’Shilt and Tractor’ App are also being developed.Problems need to be solved at source itself he said.

Speaking on the occasion,Special Commissioner Mrs Tulsi Maddineni,said,The problems within the BBMP limits can be effectively addressed with the help of technology.
BBMP has efficiency to work.The technology should be adequately utilized.

Likewise,Organization is first’this should be the feeling of everybody here.The work must be of selflessness.Need to work with unity,beyond the public’s expectation,for the brand,named- BBMP.”
Evacuation of abandoned vehicles in the city: City Police Commissioner, Kamal Pant
Speaking on the occasion,City Police Commissioner Kamal Pant said,there are plenty of abandoned vehicles on the roadside,sidewalk, and underpass across the city.
This will not only damage the city’s beauty but also cause traffic congestion.He said that the problem could be resolved if the Department of Policy and the BBMP worked in coordination.
The problem of abandoned vehicles in the city is numerous. However, there was a lack of space to evacuate such vehicles.
Now,BBMP has provided space for abandoned vehicles in Bingipuram.Abandoned vehicles will be cleared according to law after carrying out a joint survey by BBMP and Police department,and also after issuing notice to the owners of such vehicles.This will reduce the burden on the police department and will be a model for other cities.”
Fix my street’ app:
BBMP’s Fix My Street Mobile and Desktop App has been upgraded to allow people to complain about their street problems,including roadblocks, garbage,streetlights, and other issues.
After citizens log on to our fix my street app, the problems in their area,a complaint with a geo-location photo is sent to the mobile of the concerned authorities.
The concerned officer will then visit the site and examine the issue.Information is then sent to the complainant along with a photo of the problem being resolved.
The status of complaints made by citizens can be checked in the APP. Issues that can be resolved by the policy are settled within the stipulated time.
Complaints relating to Bescom,Water Board,and other departments will be forwarded to the respective departmental authorities.
BBMP’s Silt & Debris Removal Monitoring System (SDRM) App Development:
BBMP’s Silt & Debris Removal Monitoring System (SDRM) App has been developed to monitor the adequacy of Shilt and Tractors working in all 198 wards of the 8 sectors of the BBMP range.
Shilt and Tractors operating in all the wards of the BBMP will be monitored by the relevant authorities through this software.
Once the work crew and tractor drivers are present,all the crew’s photos,tractor photos,and debris/hoardings clearing photos must be included in the software.This can maintain transparency.
