Residents of Belagavi will now get birth and death certificates issued by the Belagavi City Corporation (BCC) directly at their doorsteps through India post.
BCC commissioner M Karthik and Arushi Sharma, Senior Superintendent of the Postal Department (Belagavi Division) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) , enabling this in Belagavi on Friday.
Mr. Karthik said that when citizens submit an application for birth or death certificates along with a consent letter containing their address for postal delivery, the BCC would send the certificate to their homes via post.
