Tirupati District Revenue Steady Despite Strike
In Tirupati district, Andhra Pradesh, document writers are on strike to protest against a new rule that would create Registration Service Centres.
These centres would provide document preparation, data entry, and registration services under one roof.
The document writers are worried that this will reduce their jobs and that private agencies will handle important property records.
Despite the strike, the Registration department is still working and has managed to keep its revenue steady because of high-value property transactions.
The department says the new centres will make the registration process easier and more transparent.
The strike is expected to continue until July 31.
