Mann, Kejriwal launch ‘Easy Jamabandi Portal' to digitise land services, check graft
Addressing a gathering, Mann said, 'Punjab is taking another step to root out corruption from revenue services on which lakhs of people depend on each year.'
Delhi's former chief minister Kejriwal said, 'A few days ago, we launched the 'Easy Registry' initiative to simplify property registration. This is part of the same effort to digitise and streamline key services.'
They said the Easy Jamabandi Portal would provide five main services like 'Online Intkal' (mutation), 'Rapat Entry' (recording changes due to court orders or loan, 'Fard Badar' (correction of land records), 'Jamabandi layi Subscribe karo' (land record subscription alerts) and 'WhatsApp te Jamabandi' (accessing land records via WhatsApp).
According to officials, the portal allows people to obtain a copy of their land record (Jamabandi) by entering details online. 'There is no need to visit a patwari, stand in queues or pay bribes. People will receive a digitally signed copy with a QR code for verification,' Mann said.
They said land records for 99 per cent of villages had been digitised, with the rest expected to be covered in two months.
About the Online Intkal (mutation) service, Kejriwal stated, 'Around eight lakh mutations take place annually. Earlier, updating ownership after a sale or inheritance meant months of delays. Now, this will be done within 30 days, and updates will be sent via WhatsApp.'
Mann said the Rapat Entry system would now operate entirely online. 'Every year, about 2 lakh such entries are made. For court orders, the entry will be completed within a day, and for loans, within seven days,' he said. For Fard Badar, they explained that nearly 60,000 correction requests are made each year. Kejriwal said, 'People can now submit a simple online form with documents. The application will be processed within 15 days, and fees will be paid digitally.'
The leaders also introduced a new feature called 'Subscribe to Your Land Records', which is aimed at safeguarding property ownership, especially for NRIs. 'Landowners can subscribe to their records for Rs 500 per year per Khewat. If there is any change or tampering, they will get an instant alert on WhatsApp or email and can raise an objection immediately,' Mann said.

Capital's education code overhaul
The scale of the challenge When asked the difference between the AAP's and the BJPs's education model, Ashish Sood said, 'We will never be able to counter them. When I say, we'll never be able to counter them, because we'll not be able to match their tokenism. We will not be able to match the hollow marketing ecosystem they have created. We will never be able to counter them or match them because they have a very big hollow marketing system supported by NGOs.' He further added, 'When I say this, we have visited many schools in these four months. Few days ago, I went to Najafgarh in a school that was my second visit. I was told that in the last 10 years, I am the first person as Education Minister who has visited there twice or thrice. In 10 years, in that remote corner of Delhi, the Education Minister, as they claim, I don't give a claim. They said that the Education Minister never came here. He came to lay the foundation stone of the school building named Bhagat Singh Sainik School and the building is still incomplete.' Beyond tokenism: 'Holistic education' When asked how the BJP government planned to counter AAP's political branding of education, Sood replied: 'We cannot counter them in tokenism. They had photo ops and slogans. We have a firm resolve backed by budgetary allocations.' He spoke about 'holistic education' that includes both regulation of private schools and upgradation of government schools. 'So when we talk about holistic education, we mean equipping government schools with modern technology and exposure, so that children from disadvantaged backgrounds don't feel left behind. When they step out of these schools, they should not feel like outsiders. They should be fully aware of the opportunities around them,' the minister said. For years, parents have protested fee hikes, with cases dragging on for years. 'In DPS Dwarka, the case has been in court for seven years. Children were made to sit in libraries as punishment when parents resisted fee hikes. That ends now,' Sood said. Sharing the plan for the city schools, Ashish Sood said that 21,000 smart classrooms are to be built in the next five years, 5,000 smart boards in a single year, 175 AI driven Abdul Kalam language labs and 160 new digital libraries. Sood said: 'AAP never thought of. Their obsession was with PR, not pedagogy.' Official documents show the government has sanctioned new computer labs in 200 schools this year, with plans to expand. There is also another proposal to integrate National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 recommendations, such as coding and financial literacy, into the curriculum.

Outsiders running Punjab govt via proxy, alleges state chief BJP Sunil Jakhar
Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar launched a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and claimed that 'outsiders' were running the Punjab government. Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar Demanding clarity on who framed the controversial land pooling policy, Jakhar, while addressing the 'Kisan Mazdoor Fateh Rally' in Rajpura, claimed that it was either AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal or Manish Sisodia who framed the policy, while the Punjab chief secretary was made the chair of this committee. 'Neither CM (Bhagwant Mann) nor his cabinet was involved, yet Punjabis are paying the price. Kejriwal is working as the proxy CM. Punjab voted for Bhagwant Mann, not Kejriwal,' Jakhar said while thanking all the farmers and BJP workers for their efforts and pressure that led to the scrapping of the anti-farmer policy. Punjab BJP working president Ashwani Sharma said that the BJP's consistent fight at the block and tehsil levels forced the government to withdraw its anti-farmer agenda. 'AAP's expiry date has arrived. The people of Punjab demand Modi Sarkar for real change. Even promises like MSP on 24 crops by AAP remain unfulfilled,' he said. BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh alleged that the AAP leaders struck a deal with the 'land mafia' to collect election funds. Chugh slammed AAP for turning Punjab into an 'ATM' to fund its Delhi politics. 'Chief minister Bhagwant Mann has reduced himself to a puppet CM, dancing to the tunes of leaders like Manish Sisodia and Satinder Jain, both of whom have already faced jail terms. AAP da Punjab is being run not for the people, but for mafias and corrupt leaders,' Chugh said. Sharma praised the BJP government in Haryana for providing minimum support price on 24 crops as against Punjab's 'anti-farmer' policies, including the land pooling scheme, which he alleged aimed at 'snatching farmers' lands'. The BJP will hold rallies in all the 117 Assembly constituencies in Punjab to mobilise public support, he announced. Referring to the withdrawal of the land pooling policy, Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu called it a victory for the people of Punjab. 'This is not just a political success but a fight for our land, and it is a victory for every farmer. Only the BJP can free Punjab from mounting debt and bring true relief through pro-people welfare schemes and development-driven governance,' he said.

Sanitation workers, govt school teachers forced to attend PM's event, claims AAP
A fresh political row broke out on Sunday as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claimed that the BJP government in Delhi forced government school teachers, sanitation workers and other civic employees to attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi's event in Rohini where he inaugurated two national highways. While the AAP called the move an 'insult to the teaching profession' and 'coercion of government staff', the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) rejected the claims, saying that no such orders were issued. AAP Delhi state president Saurabh Bharadwaj claimed that MCD teachers, malaria department staff, licencing officials and sanitation workers were compelled to attend the event. 'On a holiday when people were supposed to rest or perform puja for Janmashtami, Deputy Commissioners sat in their respective offices across all zones and issued orders to employees of different departments, mobilising them for PM Modi's rally.' Several AAP leaders and MCD councillors said that they reached some pick-up spots early in the morning and found that staff of various departments were being mobilised in buses. They shared videos, which, according to them, showed sanitation workers being taken to the venue. In one such note related to the event, the Deputy Commissioner of the Education department of the Central Zone directed that MCD school teachers must report at the pick up spots by 7 am, from where buses would leave at 7:30 am for the Prime Minister's events. It was further stated that all teachers must attend the rally. Workers of the anti-malaria department also claimed that detailed instructions were issued to their supervisors to monitor attendance at the PM's event. According to them, circle in-charges were told to send a photo of the number plate of the buses they board in the morning, take another photograph after sitting inside the bus, and a third on reaching the programme venue. They added that staff were warned against disobeying senior officers' orders or creating any disturbance. Commenting on the alleged directions, Leader of Opposition, Atishi said, 'It is wrong to be threatened and dragged to the rally in the name of duty…Sanitation workers' duty is to keep the city clean, not to turn into crowds; By forcing them, BJP is indulging in petty politics.' Responding to the Opposition's remarks, MCD Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh said, 'These are unnecessary claims, MCD employees are also citizens of Delhi, they went there because they wanted to listen to their PM…after falling out of power, the AAP is jobless so they are unnecessarily making an issue out of everything.' Addressing a press conference, senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia claimed that government school teachers were instructed to gather and clap during the Prime Minister's event. 'PM Modi inaugurated road projects in Delhi on Sunday. It is a good thing. But what is shocking and shameful is that the BJP's Delhi government issued government orders forcing all teachers to attend the ribbon-cutting event just to clap,' Sisodia said. He added: 'The BJP is unable to find people who will willingly attend their programmes. Since no one is ready to come, they issued a diktat that every principal and teacher of Delhi's government schools must be present, so that when the Prime Minister cuts the ribbon, there will be applause. This is deeply shameful.' Arguing that the move went against the respect traditionally accorded to teachers, Sisodia said, 'Our country has always said, 'Guru Govind dou khade, kake lagoon paay. Balihari Guru aapne, Govind diyo bataye.' But today the situation has been turned upside down. PM Modi and the Guru both are present — PM Modi cuts the ribbon and gives a speech from the stage, while the Guru stands below and claps. Is this the responsibility of teachers? Is it not an insult to the teaching profession when the government issues orders saying that when the Prime Minister inaugurates a road, every teacher must stand there and clap? The BJP must apologise to Delhi's teachers for this insult.' 'Just a few months ago, when Arvind Kejriwal's AAP government was in power in Delhi, orders were issued to send principals to IIMs, to Finland, to Singapore, and teachers to Cambridge for training. That was the atmosphere in Delhi. But now the scene is that the Prime Minister is cutting the ribbon of a road, and all the teachers are standing there to clap,' he added. Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh also addressed the media and claimed that the mobilisation of government employees showed a lack of public enthusiasm for the BJP. 'Such a situation has been created that no one is willing to listen to Narendra Modi. That is why they are summoning sanitation workers and teachers to fill their rallies. They may create fake crowds through such artificial means, but this will bring them no benefit.'
