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.

SeverityAcknowledgementResolutionAuto-Escalation Trigger
🔴 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.
