This has been confirmed by Punjab Municipal Infrastructure Development Company (PMIDC) CEO Ajoy Sharma. He says mobile app is ready and will be launched soon. After which all the senior officials of the department would be able to keep a tab on cleanliness through this mobile app across the state and if negligence is shown by officials concerned action would be initiated against them.

Under the plan prepared by the Local Bodies Department corporation commissioners and municipal councils EO will have to visit in field daily and they themselves have to check the cleanliness levels of one area in the city every day.

They have uploaded photographs of the area on the mobile app. It will be mandatory for all the officers to go in field and upload photographs. With this, the head office will monitor cleanliness in the cities across the state.
