A hyperlocal mobile app that serves location-based news in Odia and English has expanded its coverage to panchayats, a tech team member familiar with the development said on Thursday.

Odisha Local was serving hyperlocal news district wise. Now people can post from their panchayat, he said.

A large network of hyper-local journalists and community reporters from the district to block to gram panchayat to city level work round the clock to keep readers updated on happenings in and around their locations.

News stories are just two lines, factual and precise with relevant pictures. One can access news by setting panchayat, block, district, state as your preferred location.

The difference between other platforms and Odisha Local is that the posts are verified and edited by professionals.

The app claims its mission is to fix fake news and serve the people living in the villages, wards, panchayats, cities and towns in Odisha, formerly known as Orissa, nearby authentic and genuine news.

People post difficulties related to road conditions, water, health, education, government schemes and other issues.

One can also write about politics, politicians, local leaders, arts and artists, celebrities, films, documentaries, culture, archaeology, heritage and personalities.

It is a revolutionary and ambitious platform in the history of Hyper-Local Community Journalism, serving over 400 location-based short news 24×7 to its dedicated readership base.
