He said for the purpose a call centre had been established in the finance department initially for four different but important sectors such as registration of property, motor vehicle registration, payment of pension and reimbursement of medical expenditures.

“When an applicant will file his application for registration of property, vehicles, payment of pension and reimbursement of medical bills, he/she would be informed through a robo-call that application has been received and about its status/process,” he said, adding if the chief  minister approved the project it would be launched soon.

The chief minister approved the project and directed senior minister for finance Syed Murad Ali Shah to launch the project as he had envisaged it for four sectors initially. This service must be extended to other important departments such as education, local government and police, he urged.
