Green Delhi App: Everything You Need to Know
Last week, CM Arvind Kejriwal took his social media to launch the new Green Delhi app for smartphone users. The main motive behind the app is to beat air and noise pollution with government and citizens’ combined efforts in the capital.
How Does it Work?
Using the Green Delhi app, citizens can report activities causing any air pollution to the authorities. You can complain about industrial pollution, dust pollution, pollution due to the burning of garbage, and more. One can also report bad road conditions like potholes. You can directly attach photos, videos, or voice notes to your complaint through the app. The location is detected using your phone’s GPS, and the complaint is forwarded to the concerned department for timely rectification. The govt has set up a team of 70 people at the Delhi Secretariat to monitor the status of complaints. Once a complaint has been resolved, they will also upload a picture of the location. However, if the citizens are not satisfied with the resolution, they can re-open the complaint.
How to Use it to Report Pollution and Bad Roads in Delhi
The Green Delhi app has now been released on the Google Play Store. As of now, it’s available only for Android users. However, the govt will soon make it available for other platforms, including iOS. That’s it. The complaint will now be sent to the dedicated team for timely redressal.
Wrapping Up
The Green Delhi app seems to be a very unique and efficient way of redressing pollution and related complaints. The joint efforts and support of citizens will surely help the government reduce pollution, rectify bad roads as well as maintain cleanliness in the capital.
