The Vijayawada Municipal Corporation has launched the Digital Door Numbers initiative as part of the comprehensive geographic information system (GIS) survey, here on Saturday.

Additional Commissioner (Projects) U. Sarada Devi along with Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) G. Subba Rao jointly launched the programme.

Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Sarada Devi said the new digital door numbers would immediately replace the old door numbers. She said the new digital door numbers and QR codes would be useful to the citizens in many ways. The QR code would hold the geographic location of the property and make finding addresses easier.

Mr. Subba Rao said the initiative would help the VMC in providing services in a better way and also citizens could use it for door delivery purposes.

The digital door number plates would be fixed on every property in the city for free and asked citizens to report in case of any demand for tips or payments by the personnel.
