India launches app to clean up tourism sites

#INDIA has launched an app which the government hopes will improve the cleanliness of its tourist destinations. 

The Swachh Parayatan mobile app will allow the public to lodge complaints about rubbish at tourist sites across the country. Initially, 25 monuments protected by Archaeological Survey of India have been included in the app, but this will be- scaled up to include more sites in future.

The app enables people to take photographs of the trash and upload them to the app, along with their comments. The app sends a text message to the person responsible for the site, who will arrange to have to rubbish cleared. A confirmation will be then sent to the complainant by SMS.

The app is already available for Android devices, and will soon be rolled out for Apple and Microsoft smartphones.
