The e-service unveiled by Awad Bin Hasoom Al Darmaki, General Manager of Al Ain Municipality, is part of the efforts to modernise the city's civic administration with the use of latest technology, said an official of the municipality.
"The municipality has initially offered 25 services through web-based portal, and planning to put a total of some 75 more services online at a later stage," said Khalid Ahmad Al Mansouri, Head of the E-services Department at Al Ain Municipality.
