QR codes to help verify Sindh LG department letters, orders.

The Sindh Local Government Department tired of fake posting and promotion letters has decided to introduce a “real-time data management & receiving system”.

The Secretary Sindh LG Department Syed Najam Ahmed Shah said the system is introduced for identification of bogus and fake office orders and documents issued by different offices. It will ensure the transparency in the department with regard to memos issued by the department.

Earlier, any officer who has suspended could get his posting/transfer order issued without the knowledge of higher-ups. There was no way to check the authenticity of the letter issued by section officers.

At the start of 2021, QR code system was introduced to curb the issuance of bogus office orders with the signatures of section officers.

The Secretary LG department issued an order stating that only office orders and letters having QR codes will be considered valid.

Now, the LG department has introduced real-time data management system along with the QR codes.
