On the lines of reporting of potholes, it is learnt that the public will now be able to report about water-pipeline leakages, non-painting of speed-breakers and signboards. The same would be launched very soon and that public should click the photos and post it on the app. The engineers will then be held responsible to resolve the issues according to the PWD minister Nilesh Cabral.
The ‘PWD Goa’ app is already being used to report about potholes. This is a good move by the governments but should also include deficiency in several other public utilities as well including power outage and voltage fluctuations. However it will not be possible to click photos of power disruption and voltage fluctuations but could be sent as a message.
The general public should also be able to report through the app about non availability of water through the taps, flooding of roads during the rainy season, trees which need trimming and weak trees which need to be cut down. As a matter of fact the general public should be able to report through the ‘PWD Goa’ app every deficiency in public utility which comes under the purview of the PWD and not just a few selected ones.
