Punjab citizens can now use the government’s unique COVA App to request for the delivery of essential goods and groceries amid the coronavirus outbreak. The state government has expanded the App to cover such delivery, thus reaching out more effectively to the people amid complaints that many of the delivery contact numbers were being found unavailable, busy or invalid by many people. The vendors were also finding it difficult to deal with the high number of orders and deliver to the right addresses. publive-image The App is available on the Android PlayStore and iOS Appstore, which will facilitate the delivery of grocery and essential goods, as notified by the government, through local vendors. The feature has been built into the App with support from Uengage Services Private Limited, who has worked pro bono with the government team on this initiative, according to Vini Mahajan, Additional Chief Secretary, Department of Governance Reforms and Public Grievances.
