Sorry for asking! But we all only complain about the condition of our roads. Only few among us work to make things better. Thanks to Mr.Madhav Ghate. Because of his ‘Public Interest Litigation’, Bombay High Court issued a notice to Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to fill all potholes and repair the damaged roads in three weeks time.
Today, i came to know about Ms.Pratima Kirloskar and her Citizen’s Empowerment Forum. I found it great and immediately i blogged it: “Now, making “Our Pune” better is in our hands!” You know, surprisingly, this time Pune Municipal Corporation has joined hands with the civil activists! Together, they have chalked out an action plan and developed a system to repair the roads in this monsoon. And you know what? Success of the system depends on us. This plan will work only if all of us actively take a part. Tell me, do you think we are enough smart to take a part?
I am enthusiastic about this plan because it is about roads. I will never forget how much i suffered in the last monsoon. Potholes on the roads not only damaged my vehicle, it damaged my backbone too.
I am optimistic about it’s success because of it’s simplicity. See how it will work:
1. When you see a pothole or storm water clogging, you log on to “www.ourpune.com”and register your complaint/observation.
2) When you register your complaint on the website, in ‘real time’, it will be forwarded to the PMC’s concerned junior engineer and contractor via ’sms’.
3) In the next 72 hours, action will be taken on your complaint.
4) If your complaint is not attended to, ‘this matter’ will be informed to the head of the concerned department of PMC.
5) You and Citizen’s Empowerment Forum will constantly monitor the website and keep track of the progress of the work.
Now, when we have such a simple and effective mechanism at our disposal, tell me, are we smart enough to put it to good use?
