Assembly polls: Another election app released
Bengaluru: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike on Tuesday released the BBMP-VTrack app — GPS-based real-time tracking system — that will track vehicles on election duty.
“The application can help Returning Officers and monitoring teams track vehicles used by the flying squad, expenditure officer, video surveillance team, static surveillance team, and sectoral officers by constituency. The idea is to reduce the response time if there is a complaint. The app gives details of the drivers, vehicle number and their contact number. An immediate SMS can be sent to the driver through the app,” said BBMP Commissioner N. Manjunath Prasad.
More than 650 vehicles on election duty have already been tracked through the app, he said. Additional details such as message log and history of route taken by a driver can be seen on the app.
Earlier in the month, the BBMP developed three other election-related apps — Election Quiz, Model Code of Conduct Reporting, and Election Officers Directory — which hardly saw users.

Nitish transfers Rs 10,000 each to bank accounts of 25 lakh women under flagship scheme
Patna (PTI): Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday transferred Rs 10,000 each to the bank accounts of 25 lakh women under the ‘Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana’, which aims to promote women's empowerment through self-employment and livelihood opportunities.
Kumar disbursed a total amount of Rs 2,500 crore through direct benefit transfer (DBT) at a function held here at his official residence, 1 Anne Marg, officials in the CMO said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched Bihar's ‘Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana’ in September, 2025.
Around 1.81 crore women have so far received Rs 10,000 each, and those who have utilised the sum for setting up a business will soon get another Rs 2 lakh, the officials said.
The chief minister had recently announced that the Bihar government initiated the process of providing additional financial assistance of up to Rs 2 lakh to select beneficiaries under the scheme.
