Three services related to licensing, horticulture and encroachment challans were launched under the e-governance project here on Thursday.

The project is aimed at minimising manual intervention, ensuring transparency and providing convenience to public by eliminating the need to visit or queuing up at government offices.

MC Commissioner KK Yadav said 11 out of the total 29 services planned under the project had gone live so far. With the launch of e-horticulture services, people will be able to get the services of the Horticulture Department online.

Yadav said with new e-challan system, the enforcement officer shall be able to create online challan and will be to capture supporting on-ground images of violation/seizure. He said the violator would receive his/her challan on the given mobile number and email and could pay fine online or offline on the spot.
