Use the Green Delhi App to Keep Delhi Clean
The Green Delhi app of the Government of NCT of Delhi has been available for citizens since almost two years. The purpose of the app is to redress pollution related complaints and allow citizens to alert Delhi government departments about violation of environmental norms. You can use this app to click photos or make a video of pollution causing activities, such as burning of garbage, industrial pollution, or any other environmental violation in Delhi and upload it on the application. You can choose the relevant department which needs to address the issue and the complaint will be instantly registered.
The app has the feature of identifying location of the photograph taken, and will help in ensuring timely receipt of information by the Delhi Government as well as timely action. It makes every citizen of Delhi a green warden for ensuring that Delhi can be kept clean and green, and free from pollution. As of April 2022, the app has been able to resolve almost 94% of all complaints received which is a remarkable achievement. More than 42,000 complaints have been capture by this app so far and most of them have been resolved.
