SANS app is for air pollution related complaints from public institutes and the masses

The Punjab government has launched a SANS smartphone app to address citizens' concerns related to air pollution. Citizens can now file complaints against individuals who burn medical waste and garbage, operate furnaces and vehicles that emit smoke, and factories that operate without smoke control devices. Complaints submitted through the application will be quickly communicated to the competent authorities and urgent measures will be taken to resolve them. Complainants will also be kept updated on the status of their complaints. Among the institutions linked to the app are PDMA, metropolitan corporation, traffic police, Parks and Horticulture Authority and departments of agriculture, transport, industry and local government.
