BANGALORE: Bangalore Development Authority’s e-pragathi kiosks will grow to 100. Presently there are only three such kiosks in the city. The kiosks will also be provided with the geo-kiosks.

“To begin with, we will start with 25 kiosks. The tenders for the construction of the enclosures will be invited soon,” BDA Commissioner M N Vidyashankar said.

The geo-kiosks enable people to trace the development of Bangalore over the past 150 years, with the help of digitised images. A person can see if he is to construct his house over a tank bed or on a sewer or on a plain.

They can then plan their houses accordingly. The e-pragathi kiosk is a multi-purpose and provides access to all information about the BDA to the citizens.

People can register, monitor and even check the status of complaints. It is also equipped to download digitised maps, information updates, allotment forms and other activities related to the BDA.

It enables Bangaloreans to access everything they need from the BDA at their doorstep. People generally use the e-pragathi kiosk to pay taxes. The kiosks are used to the maximum for queries related to the Arkavathy layout.
