Bengal govt urges public to report bad roads

West Bengal just rolled out a new way for people to help fix their local roads. Now, if you spot a pothole or broken street, you can snap a picture and WhatsApp it to 9088822111. The government promises to act within 48 hours, making it easier than ever to get repairs started.

TL;DR

Report any road issue via WhatsApp

This move puts the power in your hands—literally. By letting anyone (and even MLAs) report issues directly, the state hopes to speed up fixes and keep things transparent. It's also part of West Bengal's effort to improve how public services work, using digital tools that most of us already have in our pockets.
