The move aims to ensure quicker and more satisfactory redressal of public grievances with plans underway to develop an upgraded <em>Sarathi 2.0<\/em> system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a letter addressed to the municipal commissioner, the mayor emphasised that \u2018Sarathi\u2019 should evolve beyond a basic complaint registration system into a comprehensive smart governance platform. He highlighted key issues such as delays in complaint categorisation across departments, discrepancies between \u2018resolved\u2019 status and actual on-ground work, lack of data analytics, and shortcomings in the mobile app\u2019s user interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key directives issued:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Automated classification of complaints and immediate routing to the concerned department<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mandatory field verification before marking complaints as \u2018resolved\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for long-term solutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inclusion of department-wise officer details in the system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved user interface and user experience (UI\/UX)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Defined Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for all services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthening data security and disaster recovery mechanisms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The mayor also called for integrating smart technologies into <em>Sarathi 2.0<\/em>, including AI-based complaint categorisation, predictive analytics and chatbot support. The administration has been asked to submit an action plan within 30 days and a detailed roadmap for the upgraded system within 60 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Landge said that \u2018Sarathi\u2019 serves as a crucial link between citizens and the administration and leveraging technology would help deliver faster, transparent and more effective civic services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the proposed upgrade, PCMC is set to take another significant step towards digital governance, aiming to provide improved and timely services to citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pimpri : Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) mayor Ravi Landge has issued strict directives to the civic administration to enhance the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1333,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[53,33],"tags":[56],"class_list":["post-1887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city","category-pimpri-chinchwad","tag-pcmc"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1-150x150.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1-300x171.jpg","medium_large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1-768x439.jpg","large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1.jpg","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1-392x272.jpg","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1-390x205.jpg","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1-130x90.jpg","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1-800x445.jpg","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1-150x150.jpg","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1.jpg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Editor","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":false,"magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"Pimpri : Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) mayor Ravi Landge has issued strict directives to the civic administration to enhance the","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["City","Pimpri Chinchwad"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":5,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":2,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1.jpg",1024,585,false],"medium":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1-300x171.jpg",300,171,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pcmc-1-1024x585-1-150x150.jpg",150,150,true]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"Editor","author_link":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/?author=3"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-53\">City<\/a> <a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-33\">Pimpri Chinchwad<\/a>","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
