A new QR code appears on road signboards in South zone, which when scanned takes you to a page with not only details of the road, but also contact numbers of civic officials and contractors in charge of the road.
The webpage that citizens can access by scanning the QR code has the names and contact numbers of officials and contractors in charge of road engineering, the sweeper assigned to the street, sweeping supervisor, details of waste generated, garbage collector, officials in charge of street lights and fogging of the street, BWSSB officials in charge of water supply and sanitary issues on the road, officers in-charge of handling stray dog and cow menace on the street, pruning trees, among others.
The ‘Road Reader’ project was launched on a pilot basis in South zone. The initiative has drawn appreciation from many citizens, and will likely be scaled up across Bengaluru soon, sources in the civic body said.
