Image used for representational purpose onlyMUMBAI: The BMC on Thursday cleared a proposal for biometric attendance for corporators.
Currently, corporators sign a register outside the BMC meeting hall when they attend meetings. "But some corporators just sign the register and leave. This will not be possible when the biometrics system is operational as their 'in time' and 'out time' would be registered," said a civic source.
Congress party leader in the BMC Ravi Raja said they support the move. But a few corporators were not so pleased. They said often they are unable to attend BMC meetings because they have to attend to works in their wards. Supporting the move, mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar said corporators are expected to table issues of their wards at the meetings. "It is also meant to ensure that we go digital," he added.
