He said that an online software has been created to implement the system.

“two- three weeks back, we had a meeting at my level. The NIC, Deputy Commissioner of East Khasi Hills, and officials from police department were present. The first presentation of online registration system for the MRSSA was presented to us… There will be data entry operators present in different police stations, the software will be online, the system for the headmen to register and inform the administration and police regarding who are the people staying in rented places will be online. All these were presented to us. And based on that, we have asked for few changes to make the system more user-friendly,” informed Sangma on Monday.
