Online tenant verification in all police stations by month-end
Pune: Tenants across the state will soon be spared the hassle of visiting police stations for verification when they rent accommodations once the registration department integrates its data with the police network covering all 1,203 police stations by June-end, registration department officials told TOI on Monday. The initiative, started in 98 police stations across Mumbai city and suburban areas, 64 stations in Pune city, and 34 in rural areas, represents a digital transformation in the tenant registration processes. A senior registration department official said, "Technical glitches and software updates have been resolved. The rollout of the new updated software for e-registration of leave and licence for tenants, along with the online tenant verification system, will be in place by June-end." DIG IT Abhaysinh Mohite explained that the upgraded Leave and Licence 2.0 software will be fully integrated with the police CCTNS network. "This will save citizens from physically visiting police stations. We are rolling out the system in phases across the entire state," he said. The department will send tenant information data to the CCTNS system for those who register the leave and licence process through the IGR application. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¡Trading con IA en Chile ayuda a usuarios a obtener ganancias potenciales!

"This is currently an issue and landlords should insist on registering on the portal rather than doing it on stamp paper," the official said. This development follows the recent mandates by additional collectors requiring property owners, especially in the rural areas, to submit comprehensive tenant details, including names, addresses, photographs, and references, at local police stations The urgency for streamlined processes was highlighted recently when Mumbai police filed FIRs against property owners in Kurla and Dadar for failing to upload tenant details on the police website, under Section 223 of BNS, which carries up to one year imprisonment. Sachin Shinghavi, Pune president of Association of Real Estate Agents, said the move is a "long-pending demand." He said that the system encourages proper document registration instead of relying on affidavits, creating a win-win situation for citizens, registration, and police departments. "However, they should ensure that there are no glitches and tenants are not made to wait for days before they can download the online registered document," he added. A registration official noted that the new system exemplifies inter-departmental cooperation for citizen safety and efficient data sharing. Over five years, total registered documents reached nearly 50 lakh, demonstrating the scale of the digital transformation. "The system is good and hopefully the delayed rollout will finally be implemented from next month," Meena N, a tenant who will renew her registration next month, said.

Disturbing alien-like skull belonging to ‘archaic' human stuns experts who say ‘barbaric' deformation ritual is to blame
Experts reveal three reasons why groups used to carry out this bizarre practice BIG BONED Disturbing alien-like skull belonging to 'archaic' human stuns experts who say 'barbaric' deformation ritual is to blame A BIZARRE enlarged alien-like skull has been unearthed by shocked construction workers in Argentina. Experts are divided on how the deformed discovery came to be. 2 2 The skull has been taken by experts for examination Credit: El Ancasti But one strong theory links it to a barbaric method that dates back as far as 300,000 years ago. If true, it's a type of artificial cranial deformation process where the skull of a child is deliberately flattened to elongate the shape. The disturbing ritual involved putting pressure on the infant's head with splints or bandages when their bones are still flexible. This causes the skull to appear wider, as well as creating a flat or curved line along the back of it.

Unsuspecting construction workers in the town of San Fernando, Belén, stumbled across it, according to local media. They found funerary urns containing human remains, one containing the deformed skull. "We've contacted the provincial Anthropology Department and the police so they can conduct the necessary studies and find out what generation he belongs to and any mysteries this may hold," said Clara Ríos, the town's director of culture told papers. Some have likened the skull to that of the antmen - or the Myrmidons - an ancient tribe in Greek mythology. "Interpreting these findings offers an opportunity to deepen our connection with our ancestry," the Archaeological Studies Group (GEA) said, according to Heritage Daily.

There are a number of reasons why groups used to deform skulls like this. Experts say it was done as a sign of social status, to show which group you were part of or for spiritual beliefs.
