Enumeration of consumers for 20,000 litres free water supply per month to be hastened
In order to fastpace the Aadhaar linkage for providing the 20,000 litres free water supply per month to all the eligible citizens, the State government has begun door-to-door enumeration of the consumers and seeding of their Aadhaar numbers with the water connection. While the option is open for consumers to establish Aadhaar linkage online, through Mee Seva centres, or other means, the aim of door-to-door visits is to expedite the process, officials from the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board informed. The Board has tied up with the Telangana State Technology Services Limited for carrying out the door-to-door Aadhar linkage. Accordingly, outsourced personnel have started to visit each household to collect the Aadhaar details, Property Tax Identification Number (PTIN) and phone numbers of the residents. Fingerprints of the residents are being collected using biometric devices supplied by the TSTS. “Our representatives are visiting the apartment complexes as well as individual households, to enumerate the number of families and the amount of water they are eligible to draw free of charges. This is to speed up the Aadhaar linkage process,” said an official from the Board.More Related News
