Increase in footfall at SROs; realtors protest against LRS
Registration of the non-agricultural properties through the old CARD (Computer-aided Administration of Registration Department) system took off smoothly at the sub-registrar offices (SROs) across the State on Monday without any major complaints from any district.
Protests over continuation of the Layout Regularisation Scheme continued in front of the SROs. Realtors staged protests in front of SROs at Uppal, Ghatkesar, Hayatnagar and other places raising slogans against the LRS. Though reverting to CARD could push up registrations as it would do away with slot-booking process and avoid technical issues, there would not be much change without scrapping the LRS, they asserted.
