A simple click of the mouse will lead you to all central government gazette notifications with the urban development ministry developing an e-gazette system.
The website will also contain Delhi government's notifications relating to subjects under the Centre's jurisdiction.
The system, to be maintained by the department of printing and publication of the ministry, will ensure date-wise, month-wise and subject-wise availability of all notifications which contain government policy and directives.
A senior ministry official said the online system was devised to reduce the time lag as well as to facilitate easy accessibility for users all over the country. "It will also ensure transparency," he added.
Presently, gazette notifications are available to the public only after 10-15 days of the date of publication and people across the country have to travel to the state capital to get a copy of the document.
The e-gazette process will also help users for other purposes like research, court cases and settlement of legal documents. A ministry official said that the printed version would continue to remain in vogue while the e-gazette would have its own usefulness.
