The Gurgaon Police have adopted an online system to expedite the police-verification process for issuance of passports. Under the 'M-passport' initiative, over 50 mobile tablets will be provided to various police officials, who can easily upload the documents and share the applicant’s data with the headquarters and the passport office, using a mobile application. Besides, eliminating the paperwork, the new system will complete the verification process within two days or a maximum of five days. The police personnel will also be given the training to accustom themselves to the digital format.

In a recent move, three enforcement teams from the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) removed illegal occupants from 11 areas in the city which includes Sadar Bazaar, Jacobpura, Rajiv Chowk, Sohna Road, Subhash Chowk, Tikri village, sectors 40, 44, 45, Silokhra and Sikanderpur. These encroachments were also causing congestion on arterial roads.
