KMC launches new Digital Address System
The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has launched the Digital Address System (DAS) in its ward no 26 with an objective to make the ward more technology-friendly.
Khyamraj Tiwari, Chairperson of Ward No 26 and Coordinator of the Good-Governance Committee of the KMC, inaugurated the digital metric house address system.
The new system uses the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology which makes it easier to access information about the houses within the ward.
Tiwari said that once the system is installed, the detailed information of all the houses within the ward can be easily known.
The Ward Chairperson installed the first digital house number plate labeled '09 Lakshya 6111' at the ward office of Lainchaur.
The KMC-26 includes places such as Lainchaur, Galkopakha, Thamel, Kapurdhara, Samakhushi, Ranibari and New Bus Park among others.
Although the KMC has been implementing the metric address system for the past 20 years, it recently upgraded the system based on NFC technology.
The ward no 26 is the first ward in the KMC to implement this updated system.
Each digital number plate will feature the old address and street name apart from QR code and chip, shared Tiwari.
He added that the new number plate of the houses will feature the Universal Google Plus code along with the Nepali local code.
