After transfer of Tehsildars, Sub-registrars, SDMs instructed to register properties

Though the government today transferred Tehsildars and instructed Sub-registrars and SDMs to register properties, yet only cases of only those persons were entertained, who had some kind of emergency like they had to go out of the city. Despite being transferred, Tehsildars reached their respective offices today.

Deputy Commissioner Sakshi Sawhney said Tehsildars were transferred and Sub-registrars had been asked to continue with the property registration work.
