JMC Mayor Rajinder Sharma will kick off work on providing/fixing digital door number plates tomorrow
“We will start the work for providing/fixing digital door number plates in Jammu from tomorrow,” the Mayor informed Rising Kashmir.
Not only the houses and shops but even many streets and lanes in Jammu will also have a digital number. In this regard, the Manager said that there are many streets and lanes in Jammu which do not have any name.
All such streets and lanes will also have a digital number (not plate) and new name so that the JMC is able to compile the data for providing various services to the people, JSCL Manager, JP Singh said.
Each house, shop and other buildings will be given a QR code. The people, by scanning this QR code, would be able to avail various services provided by the JMC like sanitation, repair or construction of streets, lanes and drains, request for street lights, lifting of garbage, seeking corrections in certificates besides various other services.
Apart from this, the people, by scanning the QR code, would also be able to lodge complaints if proper services are not provided in their area.
