Independent · Non-partisan · Data-driven

Bad Roads. Dry Taps. Dark Streets.

We log the where, the when, and the proof for broken public infrastructure across Himachal Pradesh — and keep the file open until the department closes it.

The framework

Four ground rules for how this works

Nothing on this platform is built to attack a person or a party. It's built to shorten the distance between a broken handpump and the department that can fix it.

PILLAR — 01

Citizen-centric utility

Reporting a collapsed culvert or a dry tap shouldn't take a government form. Any resident can log an issue in minutes — no party affiliation, no office visit, no fee. It exists for the person waiting at the bus stop next to the pothole, not for any campaign.

PILLAR — 02

Radical transparency & data accuracy

Every report needs three things: a GPS pin, a ward, and a photograph — nothing less is accepted, nothing more is required. It lands directly on a public map that a resident, a journalist, and a department engineer all see in the same form.

PILLAR — 03

Constructive administrative feedback

The Critical Delay Index is a ward-level backlog tracker: every open report carries a running count of months since it was first logged. Entries sort automatically on the public dashboard — longest-pending issues surface first, by constituency and district, so resources follow the worst backlogs, not the loudest voices.

PILLAR — 04

Youth-led civic participation

Most of the field reporting, photo verification, and social posts come from students and young residents who already carry a phone with a camera and a GPS chip. When an issue gets resolved, the post that follows is a thank-you to the department — not a target list.

The critical delay index

Time pending, not blame assigned

Every open report carries one number: months since it was first logged. That number sorts the public dashboard automatically, so the longest-ignored problems surface on their own.

Example: this report
0–2 months
Logged
3–6 months
Watch
7–11 months
Escalate
12+ months
Critical

No issue is ever removed from the index for being old or inconvenient — it only moves when a department closes it out, with photo proof of the fix.

When someone asks what this is

The line we hold

This is the exact answer given to a journalist, a politician, or a fellowship coordinator who asks what the project actually is.

On the
record

We are a data-driven public utility. We do not support any political party, and we do not oppose any political party. We oppose bad roads, dry taps, and administrative delays.

Our goal is to use modern technology to help the government see real-time ground realities so that public funds are spent efficiently. We are simply here to help the system work faster and better for the people of Himachal.

Two ways in

Whether you've got one pothole to log or a weekend a month to give, there's a way to plug in.

For residents

Report from your ward

Have a broken streetlight, a collapsed drain, or a dry handpump to log? Submit your ward, pin code, and a photo via the form — it goes directly onto the public map. No login, no app, no email draft.

Log your report via form (60 sec, no login)
For volunteers

Verify, map, and post

Students and young residents do most of the on-ground verification and the social posts that follow a fix. No experience required — just a phone and a Saturday morning.
