Explanation:

In two path-breaking initiatives, Punjab Chief Minister launched a unique mobile App to check unauthorized construction, and also unveiled a new web portal of the housing department for issuance of electronic change of land use (E-CLU).While the app will enable quick action to stop any ongoing illegal construction, the web portal will facilitate easy land use change and help citizens track any such change.The android-based App, known as PUDA-UCIC (Unauthorised constructions and illegal colonies), opened for public use in Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) region, which intends that the public after downloading the app on their mobile phones, can share any activity pertaining to the illegal constructions and colonies noticed by them with the department.
With this app, the field staff and public would be able to click pictures of any unauthorised construction from the spot and upload them for further action.
The satellite and geo tagging based app will provide the unique details of the location, enabling the officials to take quick action to stop the ongoing illegal construction and illegal colonies on the land.
