KPTCL unveils GIS-based app to monitor underground cable works in real-time
To enhance transparency and streamline operations, the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) has rolled out a new digital tool, a Geographic Information System (GIS)-enabled Map View application to monitor real-time underground cable projects. The initiative was officially launched by Energy Minister K.J. George on Saturday. According to officials, it is designed primarily for internal use, the Map View application showcases live updates of ongoing underground cable laying activities across Karnataka. 'By making this information accessible, the tool allows the public to stay aware of infrastructure work in their areas and adjust their routines to avoid traffic-related inconveniences. This move is aimed at fostering public involvement and reducing disruptions,' a statement by KPTCL stated. 'This digital platform, powered by advanced GIS technology, marks a major step forward in improving transparency, operational efficiency, and citizen engagement,' said Mr. George. 'By adopting innovative tools like this, we are not only boosting technical performance but also ensuring that the public is well-informed and safeguarded,' he added.

PCMC goes 100% paperless
The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has gone completely paperless since April 1 this year. Over 32,000 inward letters and 3,700 files have been processed digitally across 54 departments, said officials on Thursday. The move is part of PCMC's new GIS-enabled ERP system, which brings together SAP, a Document Management System (DMS), a Geographic Information System (GIS), and 26 other digital applications. Shekhar Singh, municipal commissioner, PCMC, said, 'We have built a system where files don't move physically anymore — everything is tracked, fast, and transparent. The digital shift reflects our focus on efficiency, accountability, and smart governance.' According to officials, all tasks—from payroll and pensions to engineering and property tax—are now handled online. Over 6,500 staff salaries and contractor bills were processed through SAP in March and April. The engineering department has already created 176 project estimations that are now tracked on the GIS map for real-time monitoring, they said. Furthermore, citizen services like marriage registration, auditorium booking, and slum billing can now be done online. Internal departments such as the library, security, veterinary, and municipal secretariat are also working digitally, they added.
