Claim & follow Chitakhal

What a claimed village gets

• Badge A Verified by residents badge on Chitakhal's page, next to the official records.
• Posts News, photos, family notices, timings and events from residents — a verified mobile number is enough to send them; a moderator reads each one before it appears.
• Updates Every post reaches the people who follow Chitakhal, by email if they asked for it.
• The village wiki, photo gallery, local jobs and business listings, edited by the people who live there.

Trust is built step by step, and each step unlocks more:

1. Mobile OTP — follow, comment, apply for jobs, and post news, photos, family notices, utility timings and civic issues. Everything you send waits for a moderator (usually under a day).
2. Photo ID (voter ID or driving licence) — clean posts go live after automatic screening; run polls and post jobs. How we handle your ID →
3. Two verified residents vouching (DigiLocker e-KYC is coming) — become a Verified Resident and edit the village wiki. We never store your Aadhaar number.
4. Sarpanch verification (election certificate or panchayat letter) — the official panchayat channel for Chitakhal. Official roles always need a document.
