Major Reforms in Property Registrations

The Punjab government has introduced stringent measures to prevent any illegal dealings in property registrations. These steps are aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability in the system while making it easier for citizens to complete their legal documentation without middlemen or bribery.

Some of the key measures include:

Strict Monitoring: Officials involved in registration processes will be closely monitored to prevent malpractice.

Digitalization: The government is working towards making the entire registration process digital and tamper-proof.

Complaint Mechanism: A dedicated helpline and online portal will be launched where people can report instances of bribery or corruption.

Action Against Corrupt Officials: Strict action, including suspension and legal proceedings, will be taken against officials found guilty of corrupt practices.

AAP Government’s Anti-Corruption Drive

This move is part of CM Bhagwant Mann's larger vision to make Punjab a corruption-free state. Over the past few months, the government has taken multiple steps to eliminate bribery across various departments, ensuring a fair and just governance system.

The crackdown on bribery in property registrations is expected to bring relief to thousands of citizens who face challenges due to corrupt practices. With these reforms, the AAP government aims to restore public trust in the system and promote an efficient, transparent, and hassle-free property registration process in Punjab.
