A total of 358 appointments were booked since the launch of 1076 helpline on December 10, 2023. Of this, services were delivered to nearly 67 per cent of the residents. The services of the remaining applicants are under process and will be delivered within the given time frame.

Presiding over a meeting with officials and the Sewa Kendra management, the DC asked them to further strengthen the mechanism of booking appointments and delivering the services.

He said though the figures were admirable, it needed to be taken to 100 per cent. More staff was being recruited for the effective functioning of the helpline.

The DC said residents could avail of the service by dialing ‘1076’ and schedule an appointment as per their convenience. They would be informed about the documents, fee, etc., for the services they want to avail. Residents would get an SMS with the list of documents required and day/ time of appointment.

He said specially trained personnel “Seva Sahayak” would visit them on the fixed day/time and complete the necessary paperwork. Seva Sahayaks will collect the fee and give an acknowledgment receipt with which residents can track their application.
