Until Thursday evening, a total of 40,93,388 files were handled in the system, out of which more than 35 lakh files (86%) have been disposed of.

He said that the implementation of ILGMS was an important step in the State's e-governance journey and that the department was now concentrating on making the public more aware of the online services.
