SAS Nagar, March 24: To facilitate the common people in their daily registration work and other revenue related work and to eliminate corruption in the revenue offices, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar (Mohali) district is going to lead the state by implementing the revolutionary initiatives of Punjab Chief Minister Mr. Bhagwant Singh Mann in the coming month, informed Additional Chief Secretary cum Finance Commissioner (Revenue), Mr. Anurag Verma here today.
Visiting the Sub Registrar Office, Mohali located in District Administrative Complex, Mr. Verma said that the project is being launched on a pilot basis in Mohali district before launching it across the state. He said that the Punjab Chief Minister is keen to bring revolutionary reforms in the revenue work across the state, to make it less cumbersome and people friendly, so as to eliminate corruption. He said that soon the State Government is going to start making digitally signed Farads on WhatsApp of the applicants.
For this, the beta version of the application has been launched on the website where anyone can apply for this digitally signed Farad after paying the fee online. He said that on an average the state generates 40 lakh Farads in a year and we hope that after the formal launch of this digitally signed Farad system, there will be no need to go to Farad centers to obtain Farads and it will be helpful in speeding up the work of generating Farads.
He said that a QR code will be available on the digitally signed Farads to ascertain the genuineness of the Farads. Besides, the online module for registering mutations and revenue reports (reports) is also in testing mode on the Revenue Department website.
He appealed to the general public to visit the website and use these beta versions to generate Farads, register mutations and reports on their own. He said that the purpose of this visit is to assess the needs to make changes at the ground level.
ACS Anurag Verma said that Anywhere Registration would be a pioneering decision of the Punjab Government in the state, starting from Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar district. During his visit to Kharar Sub Registrar Office, the Additional Chief Secretary-cum-Finance Commissioner (Revenue) interacted with the persons present there for deed registration and asked them whether they have been overcharged or had to pay any bribe to anyone.
The Additional Chief Secretary also visited Zirakpur and Derabassi Sub Registrar Offices and interacted with the locals present there for registration related works. The Additional Chief Secretary cum Finance Commissioner (Revenue) was accompanied by Secretary, Revenue & Rehabilitation, Punjab, Mrs. Sonali Giri, Deputy Commissioner Mrs. Komal Mittal and other officers.
