Jammu, August 1

The UT administration has granted over four lakh domicile certificates in over a month.

“So far, over four lakh domicile certificates have been granted to applicants. Though a time period of 15 days has been fixed for issuing a certificate to an applicant, we have asked all revenue officials, including tehsildars, to complete the process within two days,” Pawan Kotwal, Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, J&K, told The Tribune.

The region-wise data with grant to the issuance of the domicile certificate was not readily available.

On a query regarding the rejection of a large number of online applications, a senior revenue officer said they had taken up the issue with the Principal Secretary, IT Department, who had assured them to expand the system. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
