Ghaziabad: As the number of deaths from Covid go up, the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation (GMC) is turning to technology for help in the issuing of death certificates. Those looking to get a death certificate can now drop the relevant documentation at the drop-box put up in five zonal offices of the GMC. The Corporation says the death certificate will be ready to be downloaded in 10 days.
The move is expected to benefit especially those whose relatives or kin have died at home. At present, getting a death certificate is cumbersome as one has to visit the GMC office and submit all the documents, after which getting the certificate takes several trips back to the office, which is also working at reduced strength.
