“Questions privacy and usefulness of the proposed policy for solving civic issues.
The opposition party in the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has raised concerns about the new geo-tag policy, saying it may invade citizens’ privacy and might not help solve civic issues effectively.
AMC opposition leader Shehzad Khan Pathan noted that over 4 lakh online complaints were tiled in
2024-25 by citizens regarding basic facilities. However, the AMC failed to resolve many issues. Pathan questioned how the AMC would handle complaints submitted through the geo tag system, given the existing backlog of unresolved issues.
Pathan also said, The new system could invade people’s privacy instead of offering better services.
