Srinagar: "I don't want to be a second someone, I want to be the first me" - this is how a 23-year-old ambitious computer engineer, who has become the first Kashmiri to develop an Android application, describes herself on her Facebook page.
The Android application named 'Dial Kashmir' contains over 500 contacts of government and private departments, a one stop source for "essential information".
'Dial Kashmir' contains important contacts of different departments, officials and public utilities and would be of immense help to locals and tourists alike, says Mehvish Mushtaq, who holds a Bachelors (B.E.) in Computer Science.
"I felt a need to develop such an application because unlike outside, where there are many apps and websites which contain such information, Kashmir had none. 'Dial Kashmir' would provide information easily to the people here. There are many users of Android platform-based mobile phones here," Mehvish, a resident of uptown Barzulla in Srinagar, told PTI.
