Zero Tolerance on Property Bribes: DC Thind Cracks Down in Fatehgarh Sahib

Deputy Commissioner Dr. Sona Thind held a meeting with stakeholders in Fatehgarh Sahib on July 26, 2025, to address rampant corruption in property registrations. The focus was on ensuring a transparent and efficient system.

Dr. Thind highlighted the successful implementation of the e-registry system as a key tool in curbing malpractices. This digital platform aims to streamline the process and minimize human intervention.

She issued a strong warning against officials demanding bribes. Strict disciplinary action, including criminal prosecution, will be taken against those found guilty.

To ensure accountability and deter corruption, Dr. Thind announced surprise inspections of the registration offices. She will also personally monitor applications to ensure timely processing.

This decisive action by the DC is a welcome step towards improving governance and restoring public trust in the property registration system in Fatehgarh Sahib, a crucial aspect of citizen services. The success of this initiative could serve as a model for other districts grappling with similar challenges.
