Video conferencing system introduced by Punjab govt

LAHORE: Punjab Information Technology Board, as directed by chief secretary, has extended video conferencing system among government departments and officials in line with the social distancing protocol of the Punjab government.

Officials can now conduct and attend meetings via video conferencing on their laptops, mobiles, or tablets not only from their offices but from anywhere, homes or even cars. Now it is not necessary for government officials to reach specific government offices in their respected areas for video conference.

This step has been taken to ensure smooth operations without disruption and to facilitate critical communication despite restricted mobility. Through this system, officials can expedite real time exchange of information to counter the threat of Coronavirus and accelerate responses in emergencies.
