Himachal Chief Secretary VC Pharka on Tuesday launched the Citizen Reposting and Management Tool (CRMAT), a mobile app for sanitation grievance redressal, developed by Baddi Barotiwala Nalagarh Development Authority (BBNDA) at HP Secretariat Shimla.
Pharka said that the CRMAT was a grievance redressal mobile app for sanitation and garbage related issues prevalent in the city.
He said that the app would help in catering to sanitation and garbage issues faced by the people in their surrounding areas.
He said that through the portal, any common person can take a picture of the litter lying in their area and upload the picture at the online portal.
The chief secretary said the app provides the exact location of the area where the picture has been taken and also shows the latitude and longitude of the area along with the name of the village or locality.
He said that the app is easily available at the Google playstore and can be downloaded in any smart phone.
Pharka said that any person who witnesses any sanitation issue in their surrounding can take a picture and upload the picture taken on the app.
On receiving any grievance, the app would automatically send a message to the concerned officer.
