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.
