The first phase is being implemented in the localities of Nongrim Hills, Lapalang, Nongmynsong, Nongrah, Pohkseh, Riat Laban and Wahdienglieng.
The Chief Minister said that the implementation of the digitized system will not only ensure the safety and security of the residents, but it will also act as a strong intelligence gathering system for authorities to monitor and act, based on the intelligence inputs gathered from the online database.
He further added that the digitization and preparation of the online database for the MRSSA could also be beneficial for monitoring and better implementation of other services and programmes of the Government.
He said that the digitization process will connect more than 6000 villages in the State to the online system. The digitized database can then be utilized for better service delivery in critical areas such as healthcare. He said that the digitization will aid in effective monitoring of the schemes and programmes of the Government.
‘This kind of exercise is something that is going to help us not just in terms of the safety and security but also it will help us to digitise things and even help us to monitor the different services, schemes, and programmes implemented by the Government, and we will be able to do it in a much better manner. We want to expand this digitisation not just for MRSSA but also for effective implementation of other Government services’, he said.
The Chief Minister said that the initial rollout of the online system will cover the relevant towns and localities on priority before expanding in a phased manner across the State.
The Government of Meghalaya has introduced the Meghalaya Resident Safety & Security Act 2016 with the purpose to ensure and enhance security of the citizens of State by making careful and thorough examination of tenants residing in the state. The implementation of Act will prevent anti-social elements from gaining shelter in the State and to create a control mechanism to check illegal infiltration or illegal migrants who might be coming and residing in the localities.
In order to implement the Act, the Government in collaboration with NIC Meghalaya has taken the initiative to design and develop an online application that will enable the citizens (Landlords/Tenants) to register themselves with prior verification from the local authorities.
Accordingly, the web application has been designed and developed to enable the landlords, tenants, local authorities of the localities and sub-localities to register and enter the details of the residents (i.e., landlords/tenants) rental units as provision in the Form B of the Act.
