New Delhi:In a first, Members of Parliament in Lok Sabha will have to register their attendance digitally using a mobile application named Attendance Register App, amid coronavirus pandemic.
According to sources, the app is designed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) to curtail the risk of COVID-19 spread as they will not have to use or touch the attendance register.
MPs have to be present inside the Parliament to register themselves using the coordinates provided by the app.
"The app will work only in the Parliament premises. The MPs will have to take their face shot and upload it to identify themselves. Then they have to register themselves and their attendance will be marked in the safest way possible in this pandemic," added a senior official.
