The Maharashtra government is set to revolutionize entry access to Mantralaya by replacing manual entry passes with a digital platform starting August 15. According to a government resolution (GR) issued on Monday, visitors will be required to use the DigiPravesh application for entry.

The GR specifies that the new measure aims to ensure both convenience and safety for visitors. The DigiPravesh app, which can be downloaded from the Google Playstore, will serve as the exclusive means of entry, effectively ending the use of manual passes.

This initiative comes after the Mahayuti government, which took office last December, implemented a facial recognition system to regulate entry to the state secretariat. This move underscores a broader commitment to integrating technology in government operations.
