Kamareddy municipal office to go paperless

​Kamareddy: The Municipal office here is soon going to emerge as a paperless office with authorities deciding to make all services online.

This would enable greater transparency and accountability in the administration besides, making it more efficient.

The State Information Technology Department has decided to use modern sophisticated technology for carrying out transactions.

There are a lot of irregularities in the accounts of the Treasury department. At present, credits and debits are not being entered properly into the accounts.

There isn’t any clarity in the funds sanctioned for implementing various schemes. Funds that are sanctioned for a particular scheme are being used for different works.

Officers concerned are giving a way for misusing of peoples funds under the pressure of local leaders and counsellors.

The administration ghas decided to conduct audit for every three months instead of once in a year to prevent irregularities from taking place.

The details relating to properties of the municipality are being uploaded online and taxes are also b eing paid online. This would help in protecting encroachment lands.

This will also help in identifying the lands which were encroached and taking necessary action against encroachers.

Steps are being taken to implement the citizen charter. The complaints made by the people are going to be uploaded online and steps will be taken to resolve problems under the supervision of a special team.

Speaking to the Hans India here on Friday, Municipal Commissioner Vijayalakshmi expressed the hope that all the irregularities would come to an end with the utilisation of new technology for administrative purposes.

The departments would work more efficiently if Information Technology was applied in the administrative processes, she added.

She said that digital or cashless transactions have become the order of the day even in banks and other financial institutions.
