Scope of project
Udupi is a city in the southwest Indian State of Karnataka. It is the headquarters of Udupi District.
During the monsoon period i.e. from June to September there will be heavy rains due to which there will be complaints of roadside drain blockages, stormwater blockages, tree fall due to strong winds, and other rain-related complaints. To solve these user problems suggested the mobile application and control room management system.

Users can post their complaints through the app with images and videos. Complaints will be listed in the control rooms for further actions on the reported complaints. Users will be getting all the notifications of the reported complaints from control rooms.
