MUMBAI: Municipal Corporators in the city will soon be provided laptops to make them easily accessible to people in their wards.
The scheme to provide laptops to 227 corporators of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) will be included in the next year's budget, Municipal Commissioner Jairaj Phatak said.
As per the scheme, which is under consideration, the corporators will use the laptops while in office and may be allowed to buy it at a depreciated price at the end of their tenure, he said.
This scheme had been implemented in some state government offices and can be thought of here as well, Phatak said.

Additional Municipal Commissioner Manu Kumar Srivastava said the laptops would be acquired through a tender process and the contract would include a maintenance contract for the machines.
