The citizens have greatly benefited from the Qeemat Punjab App because it makes it possible to compare prices for necessities like meat, vegetables, pulses, and other food items.
The app was created to give users access to government-alerted prices for produce, household goods, and other items. Users can lodge a complaint against a shopkeeper if they are charging more than what is specified in the app or what is customary in the area.
The app also allows users to view significant news and notifications released by the Punjabi government. The app is available in both English and Urdu, and the prices of commodities can be inquired through voice for the convenience of its users.
In order to inform the public about the daily prices of fruits, vegetables, and other necessities set by the DCs, Qeemat Punjab was created. The user may use the app to file a complaint online if they discover any discrepancies between the prices and daily rates.
The market and shop will be geo-tagged when the complaint is lodged, and the app will route the complaint to the appropriate Price Control Magistrates. The user will be notified when the complaint is resolved within the allotted time.
For efficient service delivery and to build a connection between the user and the department, all complaints-related activities are directly monitored by the concerned departments.
The foundation for Punjab’s innovation economy is laid by the Punjab Information Technology Board, an independent organisation established by the Punjab government.
The Board’s objectives include, among many other services, improving citizens’ digital literacy as well as modernising governance practises through methods that encourage transparency. The PITB is committed to offering the government, as well as national and international companies, effective and efficient IT services and infrastructure.
