Pay house tax and pick up free mask at Dehradun civic body

Stepping up preventive measures against the coronavirus epidemic, the Dehradun Municipal Corporation (DMC) has put several safety arrangements in place as residents line up at its premises to pay their house tax. The deadline for depositing house tax is March 31 and the DMC is expecting a rush of visitors at its premises at this time of the month. Officials said that in order to ensure people submit their dues, while keeping coronavirus at bay, they have set up a stall inside the DMC premises that lets visitors as well as corporation staff use face masks and hand sanitisers free of cost. In fact, the use of both has been made mandatory before entering office premises.
