sewage leakage etc. These problems cause many accident and thousands
of people lose their lives every year. These problems sometimes takes
months or even years to get solved if existing system is followed, there is
no proper platform or system to make complaints about the issues and
these problems remain unaddressed. Sometimes even if a person
approaches the local authorities the problems are unheard and there is no
record of the complaint. Some facts on “how these tiny problems are
dangerous to the country” :

around 3600 death happens due to accidents caused by potholes. Most of
these potholes were not reported and authorities were unaware of it. The
use of Swachh will help in reducing these numbers making complaint
registration transparent and easy. India Times article stating about deaths

problem they either do not know where to reach, who to contact, lazy to fill
a large number of forms, no complain traceability, etc. Swachh puts ends to
all of these problems. Link of the survey . These problems can be reduced
