Amaravati: The Andhra Pradesh government is working to extend comprehensive governance of Whatsapp to the people of the state by the end of March.
IT Minister Nara Lokesh said this on Friday during a review of the Real Time Governance Society (RTGS) by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

The IT Minister observed that 100 services will be available by November end and in another 90 days, students will be able to get documents through QR (Quick Response) codes.

“We are rapidly completing the work required for this. We are working to extend global governance of Whatsapp to people starting from the end of March,” an official press release said, quoting Lokesh.
