Local government, rural development and co-operatives minister Khandker Mosharraf Hossain launched the application in a programme at the capital’s Krishibid Institute.
Every android smart phone users would be able to download the app from Google Play Store from today and using the application they would be able to inform their problems to the mayor and city officials, the DNCC said in a press release.
The inventors said the app said goodbye to handwritten complains as well as would give some other services, such as location detection, security, city service forms and others.
Khandker Mosharraf Hossain said the application opened the windows of enormous opportunities.
He said if the app worked well they would provide such app for all the unions and municipalities of the country.
DNCC mayor Annisul Haq said his election manifesto was a green, clean, safe and smart city. The DNCC launched the app and set up 650 closed-circuit cameras in different areas of the city in line with the manifesto.
‘Now we have launched NOGOR so that the resident could inform his/her civic problems, especially the security issues,’ he said.
State minister for ICT division Zunaid Ahmed Palak said that in 2008 only 10 lakh people used the internet and now the number rose to about six crore. ‘We have now 25,000 web sites and 600 mobile applications,’ he said, observing that none could think of this before.
He said the ICT division would work to upgrade the application, if needed.
