It is equipped with computers, LEDs for CCTV cameras display, telephone line, and furniture. About 100 cameras are installed at all main chowks / points of the city for security monitoring especially during Muharram, Chehlum, Eid Days etc.

Revamping Domicile Procedure

A very promising achievement of the District Administration Bahawalpur is the revamping of domicile obtaining procedure. In order to do away with traditional cumbersome process of obtaining domicile, the domicile branch has been linked online with the NADRA database. The applicants just need to visit the branch wherein their picture is taken on the spot and data is verified by online NADRA database through fingerprints. This hassle-free process is saving time and money of the citizens.

Health Surveillance Mechanism

The Deputy Commissioner has taken keen interest in the Health Department to revamp its traditional and torpid service delivery. Health Surveillance Team of officers comprising Additional Deputy Commissioner (Revenue), Assistant Commissioners, District Monitoring Officer, Assistant Commissioner (HR & Coordination), and officers of Health Department, has been entrusted tasks to visit the health facilities (DHQ, THQ, RHC and BHU) on regular basis. The visiting officer is required to fill detailed proforma highlighting existing deficiencies, availability of staff, provision of medicines, and action taken on the previous decisions (if any). The data, so gathered, is discussed in meetings and necessary directions are issued promptly.
