JAMMU, Nov 3: Taking a big stride to weed-out corruption in the Urban Local Body (ULB), the Mayor Jammu, Rajinder Sharma today launched three mobile phone Apps.
The first App launched by him is My Jammu’ wherein building permission in the city can be checked for every JMC Ward.
During a function in this regard at the General House of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) the Mayor informed that the App will also facilitate in checking the status of violation of building permission and in registering grievances regarding violations.
All this system shall be internally managed by the concerned inspectors, enforcement officers, chief enforcement officers, Joint Commissioner R&E, Commissioner, Rajinder Sharma informed.
After 7-1 notice there should be 7-3 notice within three days if reply to the earlier notice remains unsatisfactorily. If 7-3 notice is not issued then notice of 8-1 for sealing the complex is issued.
“But a wrongdoing was going on and the enforcement officers were not issuing notices of 7-3 as their palms were greased. Now as the system has been made online such concerned officers become bound to issue notice of 7-3 following that of 7-1,” the Mayor said adding that this development will largely end the harassment being faced by the public and the officers on the other hand will also become accountable.
Sharma informed that this will act as another strong step for ensuring ‘Imandar Jammu and Shandar Jammu.
Rajinder Sharma said that similarly another online portal has been started for grievance redressal.
There has been provision in the Mobile phone App for revenue collection, he said.
Earlier the officials of JMC used to issue payment receipts and one who paid Rs. 500 used to get the receipt of Rs. 300 and in this way Rs. 200 were swindled, the Mayor said, adding that the online payment will prevent this wrongdoing and will also fulfil PM Modi’s dream of cashless transactions.
By these three new developments the Mayor said he has taken revolutionary steps ensuring transparency, accountability and end the culture of corruption.
