Avail RTI, NRI services at suvidha kendras now.
In a bid to widen the ambit of government services amid the pandemic, RTI and NRI-related services have been linked with suvidha kendras. Apart from these services, on-the-spot birth and death certificate issuance schemes (for birth and deaths at private hospitals) were also started from suvidha kendras. Kapurthala Deputy Commissioner Deepti Uppal made this declaration here adding that as many as 20 suvidha kendras were being run in Kapurthala at present. 
At the kendras, over 332 services are being provided to the people. She said with NRI-related services being linked to suvidha kendras, NRIs do not need to go to Chandigarh now. They can deposit their documents at the local suvidha kendras and won’t have to make that extra trip. She said the RTI portal — www.rti.punjab.gov.in — was also being started to implement the Right to Information more effectively. She said now anyone seeking information will only have to apply via online portal and the information would reach them.
