How to report issues in Bangalore
Snap a photo
Take a photo of the issue — the category and severity are detected automatically.
Pin the location

Submit the report
Add a title and description, then submit. Signed in, it appears on the public map straight away. Without an account it waits for a moderator first, and you cannot track it.
