JAMMU: In a significant move to eradicate corruption inside the Urban Local Body (ULB), Jammu Mayor Rajinder Sharma introduced three smartphone applications on Friday. His initial app, called "My Jammu," allows users to check the city's building permit for each JMC Ward. The Mayor of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) stated during a function in this regard that the App will also make it easier to check the status of building permission breaches and to file concerns against them. The concerned inspectors, enforcement officials, chief enforcement officers, Joint Commissioner R&E, Commissioner, Rajinder Sharma informed, will all oversee this system internally. If the previous notice's response is still not satisfactory, a 7-3 notice should be sent out three days after the 7-1 notice. An 8-1 notice to seal the complex is issued if the 7-3 notice is not sent. "However, there was misconduct occurring, and because their hands were tied, the law enforcement officials did not issue 7-3 notifications. The Mayor stated that since the system is now online, concerned officers are required to issue notices of 7-3 after 7-1. She also added that this development would substantially stop harassment of the people and hold the officers accountable. Sharma stated that this will serve as yet another effective measure to guarantee "Imandar Jammu and Shandar Jammu."According to Rajinder Sharma, a second online grievance redressal platform has been launched. According to him, the mobile app contains a feature for collecting revenue. Prior to the online payment system, JMC employees would issue payment receipts. A person who paid Rs. 500 would receive a receipt for Rs. 300, resulting in the theft of Rs. 200, the Mayor stated. This will stop wrongdoing and realise PM Modi's goal of cashless transactions. The mayor declared that he had ended the culture of corruption and ensured accountability and openness with these three major breakthroughs.
