New Delhi: All Standing Committee members of BJP-led South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) were given iPads on Tjh, with the civic body claiming the move was part of its vision to make its operations "fully paperless".
The tablet computers were handed over to the members in the meeting of the panel by its chairman Shailender Singh Monti and SDMC Commissioner P K Goel.
The Standing Committee of the SDMC has now become the "first" such committee among the municipal corporations in metropolitan cities in the country to become "fully paperless", SDMC said in a statement.
SDMC's standing committee had earlier passed a resolution to make its work paperless.
"The first iPad was handed over to the senior most member and Leader of House Subhash Arya by the chairman and the commissioner in the meeting of committee on December 16, 2016," it said.
"The shift from the traditional paper work to being paperless will result in a saving of Rs 4.50 crore over a period of three years, apart from saving of trees being cut for making paper," Monti said.
