Overview
- The DPCC program, launched Friday, deploys 13 district surveyors on GPS-tracked bikes to scan roads each day.
- Each must scan at least 20 km per day and log 70 geo-tagged issues, targeting 11 problems such as dust, open burning, C&D waste, potholes and overflowing garbage.
- Reports flow through the MCD-311 app and auto-route to the responsible agency such as MCD, PWD, DDA, DSIIDC, CPWD or Indian Railways for action.
- A Hindustan Times ride-along showed the system in use, with surveyor Gourav Sonkaria logging 81 issues in one day and sending live location updates to DPCC.
- Experts backed the effort but said public access to issue logs and action-taken records will be key to judging results and holding departments to account.
