SDMs conduct surprise inspection at offices of Sub-Registrars in Amritsar

In a surprise move, all Sub-Divisional Magistrates (SDMs) in Amritsar conducted surprised inspections of Sub-Registrar offices in their respective jurisdictions today.

The inspections were carried out on the instructions of Amritsar Deputy Commissioner (DC) Sakshi Sawhney. The DC emphasized that the government had a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption. The inspections aimed to ensure that sale deeds were registered in a corruption-free manner, providing a hassle-free experience for buyers and sellers.

During inspections, the SDMs reviewed office records, interacted with visitors and gathered feedback. They also informed Sub-Registrars and Joint Sub-Registrars that any instances of corruption would result in severe consequences.

Today, SDM Gursimran Singh Dhillon inspected Amritsar Sub-Registrars 1, 2, and 3 offices, SDM Ravinder Singh inspected Sub- Registrar offices in Ajnala and Ramdas, SDM Gursimranjit Kaur inspected Sub-Register office at Lopoke, SDM Amanpreet Singh inspected Baba Bakala Sahib Sub-Registrar office and PCS Officer Khushpreet Singh inspected Majitha Sub-Registrar office.

The DC directed SDMs to inspect at least one Sub-Registrar/Joint Sub-Registrar office daily and gather feedback from visitors on any bribery incidents.
