Earlier, Khattar had launched the 'CM e-Dashboard' to monitor key parameters of various departments and ensure effective delivery of services.
"With 2,500 Patwaris getting tablets, this is for the first time in the state that ground level work would be done electronically," Khattar said.
The chief minister said Swachhata Map App would be linked with Swachhata App of the Central government with additional services.
Khattar directed the officers to initiate the process of linking villages with the app to facilitate them to provide information about cleanliness in their area.
He also launched Deputy Commissioners (DCs) e-Dashboard (Darpan), which, he said, would not only offer analytical view of the ongoing schemes throughout the country but also provide unique survey of the national level schemes.
For hotel industry, a digital register has been launched for the first time for visitors in the state. Under this, real-time data of visitors would be shared with the police and manual verification would no longer be required, an official release said.
