KPTCL Launches GIS App to Monitor Cable Projects
Imagine a digital map that shows where workers are digging underground to lay cables in real-time.
KPTCL created a new app to do just that.
It helps them see what's happening and also lets the public know about any construction in their area.
The goal is to keep everyone informed, prevent traffic problems, and make things run smoother.
It's like having a live update on where the workers are, which helps to avoid any surprises.
KPTCL launched a GIS-enabled Map View application to monitor underground cable projects.
The app provides real-time updates on cable-laying activities across Karnataka.
The tool is designed for internal use but aims to increase public awareness.
Energy Minister K.J. George officially launched the digital tool.
The initiative seeks to improve transparency and reduce disruptions.
