SHIMLA: Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu announced today that e-governance services will soon be available in all 60 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in Himachal Pradesh.

This means people can easily access urban services online. It's part of a big plan called the National Urban Digital Mission. The goal is to make government services simpler and faster for everyone  he said.

The plan is a partnership with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and the National Institute of Urban Affairs.

They're working together to create a single website where people can do all sorts of things like paying bills or getting permits, he added.

This will save time and make things more convenient for both citizens and city officials.

The government will also set up a special unit to make sure everything runs smoothly.

They'll use drones to map properties and go door-to-door to gather information about families living in urban areas. This will help keep records accurate and up-to-date.

The Chief Minister believes this initiative will make city administration easier and more transparent. It's all about using technology to improve people's lives.
