PHAGWARA: In a landmark step to dismantle corruption and simplify governance, Punjab Government's pilot project of easy registration successfully launched at Phagwara on Friday. Phagwara SDM Jashanjit Singh in the presence of Naib Tehsildar Gurucharan Singh inaugurated today.
SDM said Punjab state has became the first state in the country to offer a seamless, transparent, and corruption-free property registration system. Launching the ‘Easy Registry’ initiative from Phagwara SDM declared an end to the era of bribe-driven, delay-ridden land registrations.
SDM said that For the first time in India, in any state, citizens will be able to register their property at any sub-registrar office within their district, get deeds written at the tehsil itself, and receive objection notices—if any—within 48 hours. Warning officials against misuse, Arvind Kejriwal promised strict action against those raising false objections. The reform is currently in trial phase and will be fully implemented across Punjab from August 1.
He said for the first time, such a system is being implemented here in Punjab. Until now, if anyone had to go to a tehsil office or the office of the Tehsildar, it was like a terrible nightmare for them. People would feel nervous just walking in, and by the time they left after completing their work, they would be completely drained.
