Delhi in for a pothole-free transformation as PWD launches Commcare

According to Aam Aadmi Party MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj, the Public Works Department (PWD) has developed a customised application named 'Commcare' to spot waterlogged, damaged roads in Delhi. Bhardwaj, while speaking to news agency ANI, said that around 50 MLAs and 50 PWD civil engineers will do a survey of 25 kilometres long road stretches each and will inform the authorities about the same through the mobile application.
