Call Before U-DIG App: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched the 6G vision document and testbed for it. Along with this, the Prime Minister also launched a mobile application today called Call Before U-DIG. The initiative of this app has been taken by the Department of Telecommunication. Actually, this app has been launched so that the money of the government can be saved. Till now, if any new project or tender was started in the country, then the agencies would directly start working on that project.
In such a situation, during the excavation, the underground cable or pipeline hidden under the ground was damaged, due to which there was a loss of several thousand crores. According to a video posted by the official YouTube channel of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, every year due to development related activities, the government suffers a loss of about 3,000 crores due to the cutting of underground cables or damage to pipelines.
This is the advantage of U-DIG
To avoid all this and to save public infrastructure, Department of Telecommunication has started U-DIG mobile application. Under this, the digging agencies or telecom companies can find out in advance that the pipeline or cable line of which company is laid in the area in which they are going to work and what are the details of that company etc. It will be beneficial that work will be done keeping in mind the cable wire or pipeline and the government and public infrastructure will not be harmed. Many times, due to the damage of cable wire, people have to face problems for many days.
If we explain to you in simple words, then if the work of road or underground sewer line is to start in your area, then digging is done first. Till now the digging agencies used to start the work directly. In such a situation, many times the pipeline or wire laid underground used to get damaged. But now after the introduction of the U-DIG app, this will not happen and the damage can be reduced.
