Himachal Pradesh MLAs get smartphone app to work smartly

Speaker B B L Butail said the MLAs will be provided the information of the entire proceedings of the House in the digital form on their mobile sets and tabloids immediately after end of the day’s work.

“What’s more significant is that the ministers who have to reply to the House, can seek supplementary replies on their mobiles from the administrative secretaries. The app will have different folders under separate heads to get the entire information at press of a button. There is no need to look for papers. Imagine how much time and money savings it will be?” Butail said.

The app will also give notifications of the Vidhan Sabha’s press releases, bulletins, budget speeches, documents and the bills tabled in the House.

In the next phase, Vidhan Sabha proposes to launch e-Vidhan (phase-II) to facilitate MLAs in their constituency management works and attending grievances of the people online and also interacting with officials of the constituency.
