Hi all, here's a map of Kolkata with wards marked out. 1-141

The current lockdown might last long & we have to prepare for the situation. 1 way to approach this problem is decentralisation. Stay with me. (1/n)

The map here lists all the wards of Kolkata with boundaries. We form ward level information & volunteer units. Add information about each ward, & some people from each ward to take ownership of their respective wards. This will help us resolve issues locally. (2/n)

Use this live map below to identify the ward you live in, and contact me so that i can share with you a map of your ward with you.

Then, you start adding information on essential services such as pharmacies, groceries that are currently servicing. (3/n)

We also hope to use this to identify areas, vulnerable groups that may need assistance with supplies, & volunteer network gathers info for local emergencies. (4/n)

Come on board, help add information to your ward. Message me if you're interested in this or being a part of our informal volunteer network. Please RT to amplify message. Let us do what we can. Thanks!
