Haryana govt to modernise registration offices
2
Chandigarh: Financial commissioner of the revenue and disaster management department, Sumita Misra, said on Wednesday that the state govt will modernise all registration offices across the state by restructuring them on the model of Passport Seva Kendras.
She said the initiative will be rolled out in a phased manner, starting with high-density and high-transaction districts such as Panchkula, Gurugram, and Faridabad. She stressed that this transformation is not limited to infrastructure improvements but is part of a broader plan to strengthen service delivery, boost transparency, and increase accountability within the revenue administration.
Misra said that this new model will include citizen-centric features such as online slot booking, well-equipped waiting areas, real-time digital display systems, and dedicated helpdesks.
Signage and information will be made available in local languages to assist citizens.
To address persistent issues of slow server response during registration activities, particularly at sub-divisional and tehsil levels, Dr Misra directed the establishment of two state-level revenue data centres with a storage capacity of 2 petabytes each. She directed officers to float tenders for the same within the next 10 days.
She apprised that to date, 418 out of 440 pilot villages (95%) across 22 districts successfully completed their Tatima updation. This represents a substantial leap in land records modernisation and a strong increase from the 380 villages reported on May 8, 2025, reflecting the addition of 38 villages in just over a month.
Several districts achieved 100% Tatima updation of their allotted pilot villages. These include Charkhi Dadri, Faridabad, Fatehabad, Hisar, Jind, Kaithal, Karnal, Panchkula, Panipat, Rohtak, Sirsa, and Sonipat. Gurugram also showed progress, leading in new additions with 11 new villages reaching 80% completion.
The efforts resulted in a significant increase in processed records, with a total of 3,53,680 Tatima records completed as of June 25, marking an increase of 23,005 records since May 8.

Disaster management mock drill carried out in 5 districts of Haryana
Chandigarh, Aug 1 (PTI) A field-level, multi-agency disaster management mock drill was carried in five districts of Haryana on Friday, officials said. The Haryana Department of Revenue and Disaster Management, in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), conducted a large-scale mock drill titled 'Exercise Suraksha Chakra' across �Gurugram, Faridabad, Rewari, Palwal, and Nuh. The full-scale exercise, aimed at testing the response mechanism during natural and industrial disasters such as earthquakes and chemical hazards, was successfully carried out at 21 strategic locations including educational institutions, government buildings, hospitals, and key commercial spaces among others. Haryana's Financial Commissioner (Revenue) Sumita Misra lauded the execution of the exercise. She noted the commendable coordination among multiple stakeholders, including the Haryana Home Guards, Aapda Mitra volunteers, Red Cross, National Cadet Corps (NCC), National Service Scheme (NSS), Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) volunteers and several NGOs. The drill followed the incident response system (IRS) framework to evaluate communication flow, resource mobilisation, inter-agency coordination and real-time decision-making processes during a crisis. The initiative demonstrated the state's ability to respond to large-scale emergencies through unified action by the administration, security forces, medical services and community volunteers, an official statement said. Misra emphasised that the lessons from this exercise would be documented and integrated into the state's disaster management framework to enhance institutional readiness. She reaffirmed the government's commitment to developing a robust, technology-enabled disaster response system that ensures the safety of life and property.

PMIS needs independent review, relaxed norms for inclusion: Parl panel
The Prime Minister Internship Scheme (PMIS) must undergo periodic independent evaluations to improve transparency and should ease eligibility norms for marginalised and economically weaker candidates, the Standing Committee on Finance has recommended. In its report submitted to Parliament on Thursday, the committee, chaired by Member of Parliament Bhartruhari Mahtab, said challenges relating to inclusivity, monitoring, stakeholder participation, and post-internship outcomes continue to impact the scheme's budget efficiency. The scheme was allocated Rs 2,000 crore in the Budget Estimates for FY25, but the Revised Estimates reduced this to Rs 380 crore. 'These funds suffice for the pilot phase, but dynamic reassessment of financial needs is crucial for scaling up,' the panel noted. The committee raised concerns over the blanket exclusion of candidates from families of regular government employees, calling the provision unwarranted. Many such families, it noted, may still require support under the scheme. It also emphasised that lack of support for living expenses could prevent candidates from remote or underserved regions from participating, thereby weakening the programme's inclusivity and limiting the diversity of talent. Further, the panel urged the government to build a robust system to monitor and track the internship-to-employment conversion rate, calling it a key success metric for the scheme. To broaden the scheme's reach, the panel recommended stronger engagement with small and medium enterprises (SMEs), startups, and regional stakeholders to ensure inclusive sectoral and geographic representation across the internship programme. The committee also addressed delays under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), recommending the creation of fast-track tribunals with strict timelines for high-priority cases. To enhance efficiency, it also proposed exploring a public-private partnership (PPP) model to streamline judicial processes—citing the success of privatised Seva Kendras—and called for improved infrastructure for the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). In its response, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs told the committee that changes to the IBC and reforms to strengthen both tribunal and appellate mechanisms would be initiated. 'Additional tribunals will be established,' it said. The panel urged the government to 'provide clearer guidelines on the treatment of government dues, especially taxes and penalties, ensuring equitable and transparent resolution of government claims.' The committee also recommended mandating a 14-day processing period for insolvency applications and raising competency standards for resolution professionals through rigorous certification, specialised training, and independent performance reviews. 'By addressing delays, competency gaps, and broadening stakeholder engagement, along with leveraging technology and domain expertise, the IBC can further enhance its impact on India's economy, ensuring faster resolutions and boosting investor confidence,' the panel concluded. Taking note of the discontinuation of disinvestment targets, the Standing Committee on Finance, in its report submitted to the Parliament on Thursday, pressed upon the government to keep in mind the importance of strategic disinvestment in reducing the fiscal burden and promoting efficiency. The government told the committee that a calibrated disinvestment strategy is an integral part of the value creation process, keeping the interests of minority shareholders in mind. The standing committee in its report on the Department of Economic Affairs, stressed on the need for realistic preparation of estimates and efficient utilisation of allocated funds. 'The Department of Economic Affairs, being the nodal Department in formulation of the Budget, is expected to observe the requisite financial norms and maintain fiscal prudence while making budgetary allocations,' the panel said. Noting that budget estimates for interest payments on both gross and net basis have shown an increase over the years, the committee said, 'Given that the interest payment estimates are closely linked to market conditions; building budget buffer would allow the Government to respond swiftly and flexibly during any adversities that may arise due to global macroeconomic and geopolitical developments.' The panel has asked the government to explore all possible ways and means in collaboration with State Governments to achieve more consistent inflation control across the country. The committee in its report also appreciated the increased allocation for capital expenditure, which it said would enhance India's global competitiveness and fast-track sustainable economic development.

Delay in shifting of power substation holds up key Hero Honda Chowk link
Gurgaon: GMDA CEO Shyamal Misra has asked officials to expedite utility shifting work that's holding up the upgrade of the 2.2km stretch between Hero Honda Chowk and Umang Bharadwaj Chowk. Chairing a review meeting on Wednesday, Misra directed HVPNL officials to submit an estimated cost of relocation of an electrical sub-station within the project alignment. Under the project, NHAI will widen the 2.2km stretch into a six-lane corridor along with a service road and a flyover at Umang Bharadwaj Chowk. The land was handed over to HVPNL in May this year. However, the power distribution agency is yet to submit the estimate for shifting the 66kV power substation to NHAI, delaying the redevelopment project. NHAI officials said work on relocating drainage and HVPNL's transmission line has already begun, and the shifting of water supply and sewage lines will be taken up soon. "We are aiming to complete the utility shifting within the next six months," said an NHAI official.

The highway authority is also awaiting a court decision on the removal of a shop that's obstructing around 30 metres of the stretch on the proposed alignment. The next hearing on the matter has been scheduled on Oct 20, but NHAI has now moved a petition for an early hearing. "We have already filed a petition seeking early disposal of the matter related to the removal of the structure obstructing around 30 metres of the stretch," an NHAI official said. Another challenge flagged is the presence of the Himgiri Ashram on the alignment. Officials said a duty magistrate has now been appointed to oversee proceedings related to the removal of this roadblock. The 2.2 km road stretch is a critical link between Hero Honda Chowk and Umang Bharadwaj Chowk, connecting key residential and industrial zones. Commuters have faced congestion and pothole-ridden roads due to the lack of upgrading. Approved in 2017, as part of a broader plan to upgrade the 5.6 km stretch between Hero Honda Chowk and Dwarka Expressway, over the years, the revamp project faced repeated delays due to indecision on the design and modality, casting a shadow on the upgradation of this key stretch linking the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway to the Dwarka Expressway.
