The Bulletin Board acts just as any standard bulletin or notice board for any community. People post onto it. People read it. People converse around it. Except here, the bulletin board is digital. You will be able to do everything inside the app for a community as big as a mile square.

In case of public toilets, the cover should judge the book. If it looks good from the outside, it is likely it looks good from the inside. You can post photos of the public toilets or any other amenity that you use for everyone to see. Now don't hold your pee or poo just because you are concerned about the hygiene of the toilet that you have to use.

Air Pollution module will show you every available data set from the Govt authorities. Most used indexes are AQI(Air quality index), PM2.5 index, PM10 index, Wind Speed, Humidity, Sulphur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide and more depending upon availability.

All the news in which your city is mentioned. All the news that have some connection with your city. All the news that is published in your city.

The images module has been added in order to create a database of images around your locality. These images are descriptive of your locality and community. Please do not add any images that may infringe any one's privacy.
