MCC starts four-day drive for pending birth, death certificates
The Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) will conduct a four-day drive from 14 October to 17 October to issue pending birth and death certificates, including those requiring corrections. The drive addresses applications delayed due to SIR and other reasons.
Applicants must book a time slot between 10.30 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the website slotbooking.karnatakasmartcity.in, providing name, application reference number, mobile number and email ID. They need to bring relevant documents to the Mangala auditorium, where officials will process and issue the certificate within 30 minutes of the allotted slot.
MCC Commissioner Rahul Rathnam Pandey said 400 applications are currently pending. Records after 2010 have been digitised, while pre-2010 records are in manual form and have been readied. Any applicant unable to attend the drive can collect the certificate from the MCC later.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The four-day window signals the MCC's effort to clear a backlog of 400 applications in a single push, affecting residents who have been waiting for documents essential for school admissions, passport applications and inheritance claims. The 30-minute turnaround at the venue is ambitious but depends on applicants arriving with correct documents and within their booked slot. The drive does not cover future applications, so the corporation will need a sustained system once this backlog is cleared.
