District Magistrates of Kapurthala and Jalandhar have restored powers of Naib Tehsildars in their respective jurisdictions to register property sale deeds.

In an official order they stated: “Keeping in view administrative interests and in continuation of earlier orders in this regard, Naib Tehsildars of all sub-divisions of Kapurthala district, including Phagwara, Kapurthala, Sultanpur Lodhi, Nakodar, Shahkot, Mehatpur, Nurmahal and Lohian Khas, are directed to register property sale deeds.”

Eleven Naib Tehsildars in Jalandhar have been authorised to register sale deeds. At present, only two Kanungos are entitled to register property sale deeds. The government had withdrawn registration powers from revenue officers in March following their strike.

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).
