Key features of the app include an easy-to-use interface for reporting encroachments, a tracking system for follow-up actions, and a centralized database for managing cases. By leveraging technology, the app aims to improve the efficiency of enforcement and reduce instances of illegal encroachments on highways.

The launch of this app aligns with broader efforts to enhance road safety, maintain infrastructure integrity, and promote lawful land use along highways. It reflects the Ministry?s commitment to utilizing digital solutions to tackle persistent challenges in highway management.

Overall, the new app represents a significant step towards more effective and responsive management of highway encroachments, contributing to better road conditions and improved safety for all road users.
