SENAPATI, November 9
Expressing deep concern over the perilous and life threatening condition of the Mao-Senapati sector of the National Highway 2 due to sprouting of thick undergrowth and shrubs grown along the route, the Mao Council urged Deputy Commissioner, Senapati to take due cognisance of the urgency of the situation and initiate prompt action for the safety of the commuters at the earliest.
In a representation to the District Administration, Mao Council Secretary A.Athili Kayina said the numerous bends and curves of the highways coupled with dense undergrowth have limited the vision of the drivers from sighting the oncoming vehicles from the opposite direction posing great life risk to the drivers and passengers.
Such roadside condition has completely obstructed and the risk of head-on collision has become very high. The occurrence of a road accident between an Alto Car and an Alto K 10 at a place located in between Makhan and Maram on October 29 this year is a clear example of this situation,he added.He also mentioned that the epicentre of the risk is more confined in between Makhan and Maram, and Lairouching and Senapati.
Digitalisation of certificates program launched: In a move to the expand “Digital India” where government services are to be made available to the general public electronically, Deputy Commissioner Jacintha Lazarus of Senapati district on Monday launched Digitalization of Certificates at her office in Senapati district headquarters in the presence of all the SDOs and staff from the concerned department.
All certificates issued by the office of the Deputy Commissioner would be digitalised to ensure that the public gets their certificates from the office the same day with minimal fuss as far as possible where, every certificate issued from the digital program of the district will have a unique number imprinted on it. The number will help in easy verification of all certificates issued henceforth.
It is also instructed that an applicant has to apply for certificates in a prescribed format along with the required documents at certificate counter to be installed very soon. The applicant will be given a receipt as a token for submission of their forms.
The form will be processed by the computer operators and after verification; the certificates will be issued on production of receipt by an applicant.
In case of reissue of the certificates within the same year, anyone quoting the unique ID number or producing a Xerox copy of a digitally issued certificate will be issued a new certificate without the need of any further documents within a minimum amount of time.
The DC also mentioned that all certificates issued from the office will be stored on secured computer servers thereby, making them immune to hazards.
The initiative would further be extended to Sub-divisional Officers in next few months.
Moreover, the process is on to enable the public to apply and obtain certificates from the Community Service Centres(CSC) where, the digital signature will enable to issue certificates through the CSCs, she added.
