Kashmiri woman creates Android app for a cause

Srinagar resident Mehvish Mushtaq is helping Kashmir in her own, not-so-little way. The 24-year-old has designed an Android application, Dial Kashmir, which lists contact details of emergency services in the state, and helps avert untoward incidents in the Valley, writes Kareena N Gianani

Living in Kashmir is fraught with difficulties, but it is time we become the change we want to see in the Valley,” says Mehvish Mushtaq, a Srinagar resident who knows how to walk the talk. On February 28, the 24-year-old engineer became the first Kashmiri to launch the Android app, Dial Kashmir, which lists over 500 contacts (addresses, email ids and phone numbers) of government departments and private offices and services. The app is divided into two categories -- Essential Services (hospitals, fire brigades, ambulances, newspapers, educational institutions, grievance cells and the municipal corporation) and Commercial Services (hotels, houseboats, Kashmiri products, pharmacies, NGOs, real estate organisations, tour and travel companies and wazas, the traditional Kashmiri cooks). Mushtaq is currently working on adding more categories, such as courier services, journalists, lawyers, doctors, BPOs, construction companies and so on.
