Punjab now requires excavation crews to use the CBuD app to avoid damaging underground utilities, per 2024 rules.
India has mandated the use of the Call Before u Dig (CBuD) app for all excavation activities in Punjab, following a February 2025 state notification, to prevent damage to underground utilities like water pipelines and power cables during telecom cable installation.
The move, part of the Telecommunication (Right of Way) Rules, 2024, requires departments and agencies to coordinate via the app and map underground assets on the PM GatiShakti platform.
While telecom operators reported unreported excavations, no water supply agencies filed damage complaints in five Punjab regions.
The central government urges all states to adopt similar rules and establish compensation procedures for infrastructure damage.
