At one point, the server of the site had crashed due to too much of load and hits. The government’s technical team was pressed in to action and got the server repaired. The lost data was also restored. The Chief Minister had ordered move to a bigger server to accommodate the load.

Each brick on the website costs Rupees 10. So far the government did not add the option of facilitating international payments. Once it is done, NRIs will be able to chip in bigger amount which will be a morale booster for the government ahead of the ardent task.
