Ran into a pothole or a badly damaged road stretch? Click a picture of it using your mobile phone and send it across to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). And the civic body promises to have the problem fixed at the earliest.
The GHMC is in the process of launching an app in the next couple of days that will help citizens click and send photographs of bad road conditions.
These details and photographs will be forwarded to the Executive Engineer concerned to ensure that required repair and re-carpeting work is taken up immediately, the civic body said in a press release on Tuesday.
