Andhra Document Writers End Strike After Govt Assurances
Document writers in Andhra Pradesh went on strike because they were worried that new government centers for registration would take away their jobs.
The government talked to them and promised that the new centers would not hurt their work and that they would only set up a few centers at first.
The document writers were happy with the promises and ended their strike, agreeing to go back to work the next day.
Document writers in Andhra Pradesh called off their statewide strike after assurances from the Registration and Stamps Department.
The government assured that the proposed Registration Service Centres (RSCs) would not affect their livelihood.
Only five RSCs will be established initially, down from the originally proposed 26.
The commissioner clarified that the RSCs aim to provide transparent and faster registration services.
Document writers agreed to resume services from Friday and cooperate with the Registration Department.
