2. A ‘smart’ idea that you would like to see replicated in my own city. E-Governance The Government Offices which redress grievances of people through Complaints in Paper Form should be eliminated. All Grievances to Govt. authorities should be handled online and be escalated online based on the criticality and aging of the concern. This eases the Public in approaching and availing Government services effectively. This will aid in arresting critical issues immediately and reduce pending cases.
