Gujarat chief minister Anandiben Patel on Friday launched a mobile application developed by the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) for industrial houses, hospitals and urban bodies to apply for clearances as well as check other updates on smartphone.
"Industries of Gujarat can complete pollution control formalities with a click of the mouse. I am happy that today we have launched a mobile application to make it further easy," said Patel, in her inaugural address at Wastech International Summit & Expo, a pre-Vibrant Gujarat summit held at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar.
"Gujarat, thus, becomes the first state to deploy m-governance in a field known for its red tape," added Patel, referring to the obstacles faced by businesspersons in setting up units.
App can be used by industrial houses for accessing pollution reports, checking status of no-objection certificates, waste water generation details, among others.
