ICTA facilities for citizens registration
The Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA)
has taken steps to provide facilities for registration of citizens
through the Nenasalas, the rural information technology centres. The
registration of citizens is being implemented according to the State
Defence Ministry’s regulations.
ICTA’s Chief Operating Officer Reshan Dewapura said that accordingly
registration of citizens’ information is done free through the website
www.citizens.lk Initially, the collection of information of all citizens
in the Western Province is currently taking place according to the State
Defence Ministry’s regulations.
The Defence Ministry has launched the collection of citizen data thus
for the security of citizens and properties of the Western Province.
Accordingly, it is obligatory that all permanent and temporary
residents of the Western Province submit their particulars.
(ICTA) said that the easiest method for this is to access the website
www.citizens.lk, fill the relevant form and submit it through the
website itself.
Therefore, facilities have now been provided for citizens to submit
the information by using the internet for free at the (Nenasalas), the
rural information technology centres, which have been set up under the
“e-Sri Lanka” initiative.
Accordingly the operators of the Nenasalas set up in the Colombo,
Gampaha and Kalutara districts will assist the citizens in these areas
to submit their particulars to the Defence Ministry through the
internet. |
