QR Code for Safer Roads

Instead of trying to escape death traps like the Road Runner, the Road Reader project launched by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) looks to introduce accountability and make roads safer. Under the project, QR codes will be installed on road signages to improve grievance redressal at urban local bodies.

• Scan the QR Code: QR codes attached to road signages will provide details of the road and the officials responsible for maintaining it. The scanned QR code leads the user to a webpage that has the names and contact details of contractors and municipal officials responsible for the road.

• Citizen Suggestion: The project inspired by a similar one undertaken by the Bengaluru municipal corporation was suggested to state Urban Development Minister K T Rama Rao by a Twitter user. Acting on the same, the minister issued instructions to the Mayor & MAUD secretary to implement the project.

Exotic Preferences

Despite a growing pet culture in the city, indigenous canines as pets are becoming a rarity. The preference for exotic and foreign dog breeds has made indigenous dog breeds a sight for sore eyes. As per GHMC data, there are about 50,000 pet dogs inside the GHMC limits.
