Public Accountability · Operational Layer

Escalation Center

NagarDrishti™'s Escalation Center has two layers: a Public Accountability Layer that every citizen can view — SLA commitments, resolution standards, and city performance — and an Operational Layer where verified Citizen Auditors, Municipal Officers, and NGO / CSO partners manage live incidents and track resolution in real time.

SLA & Resolution Matrix
Commitments published for public accountability
📋 Standard SLA by Severity

Every verified incident on NagarDrishti™ carries an SLA timer that starts the moment it is published to the ward officer's queue. SLAs are jointly agreed with partner municipal bodies and published here.

🔴 Critical2 hours24 hoursDivisional Commissioner + State Nodal Officer at 12 h
🟠 High6 hours72 hoursMunicipal Commissioner at 48 h
🟡 Medium24 hours7 daysZonal Officer reminder Day 4; escalate Day 6
🟢 Low48 hours21 daysWeekly digest to ward officer; no auto-escalation
NagarDrishti™ is a civic reporting platform — not a government body. We cannot compel resolution, but we publish SLA breach data publicly to create accountability.

🚨
Emergency Hazard Triggers
Automatic escalation conditions that bypass standard queues
Multi-report cluster (< 10 min). ≥ 3 verified Critical-severity reports of the same category from the same ward within 10 minutes triggers emergency SMS to ward officer + City Dashboard alert.
Fire Safety + verified media. Any Critical fire report with verified photographic evidence bypasses the standard queue and triggers a webhook to the connected municipal fire control room.
Waterlogging + IMD Red Alert. If IMD issues a Red / Orange rain alert and NagarDrishti™ detects ≥ 10 waterlogging reports in 2 hours, SDMA nodal officer receives an automated situation briefing.
SLA breach cascade. When a Critical incident exceeds 12 h with no ward officer acknowledgement, the platform posts the incident to the public "SLA Breached" feed and sends a digest to the Municipal Commissioner.
Stray animal attack zone. ≥ 2 Stray Dogs (Critical) reports from the same street within 30 minutes triggers direct AWB helpline notification (where API integration is active).
📊
Resolution Audits
How we ensure closures are genuine
Proof-of-Fix required. Ward officers must upload a "Proof of Fix" photograph to close High or Critical incidents. Text-only closures are rejected by the system.
Citizen re-open rights. Original submitters may re-open an incident within 7 days of "Resolved" status if the fix is inadequate. Re-opened reports restart the SLA timer at the same severity.
Ward officer accountability log. Accounts with > 30% SLA breach rate over any 90-day window are flagged for review by the Municipal Commissioner.
Immutable audit trail. Every action (submission → verification → assignment → closure) is logged with a timestamp and actor ID. Records are tamper-evident.
