#local — Community Civic Reporting

From potholes and garbage overflow to broken streetlights and sanitation concerns, #local makes it easier for communities to stay informed and participate in improving local surroundings.
The app allows residents to capture issues around them, share updates with nearby users, follow ongoing discussions, and support issues that matter to their locality. Certain reporting features may also help users prepare or submit complaints through publicly accessible government grievance portals.
