According to information provided by the Roads & Buildings Department, the 'Guj-MARG' application has been launched to ensure prompt and effective resolution of issues such as potholes, damaged bridges, and other infrastructural problems across the state. Citizens are encouraged to report local issues through this platform.
Developed by the Gujarat Roads & Buildings Department, the 'Guj-MARG' app serves as a dedicated channel for registering complaints related to road conditions, bridges, and other infrastructure.
