Residents slam doors on e-Swathu awareness staff

Mysuru: While attempting to raise awareness about e-Swathu through a door-to-door campaign, residents often shut their doors on staff, lamented Anand, Commissioner of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Zonal Office 8 and Mahesh Kumar Jigani, Commissioner of MCC Zone Office 4.
At the monthly meeting held on Sunday at the Mysore Grahakara Parishat (MGP) office on Vivekananda Road, Yadavagiri, chaired by MGP President Srishaila Ramannanavar, challenges faced by the public in obtaining e-Khata, e-Swathu, and e-Design services were discussed.
The officers highlighted the difficulties in effectively reaching the public with these digital initiatives. Implementing e-Swathu and e-Khata is meant to benefit residents, but when efforts are made to raise awareness, many turn away and shut their doors, they lamented. Expressing frustration, they called such behaviour towards MCC staff disrespectful.
According to Anand, only 50 percent of residents in his zone and others have obtained e-Khata certification for their properties so far. He pointed out that the remaining residents either show no interest in acquiring e-Khata or face delays due to a lack of required supplementary documents.
