Statewide implementation of 'anywhere registration' from September 2: Krishna Byregowda
Bengaluru: Karnataka is set to implement the 'Anywhere Registration' system for property registration across all sub-registrar offices in the state from September 2. The new system will allow citizens to register property, including land, plots, houses, and commercial buildings, at any sub-registrar office within their district, irrespective of the property's location.
Revenue Minister Krishna Byregowda announced this during a press conference on Monday. He explained that the system, which was successfully piloted in Tumakuru and Belagavi since February, is being expanded statewide to reduce crowding in offices and ease the workload on staff.
The 'Anywhere Registration' system is expected to eliminate the need for middlemen and streamline the registration process. Citizens can now book appointments online and visit the sub-registrar office most convenient for them, rather than being restricted to the office in their respective taluk.
With 252 sub-registrar offices across Karnataka, the new system aims to distribute the workload more evenly, improving efficiency and reducing wait times for the public.

PWD, Google Maps officials booked in Bareilly bridge death case
Budaun (UP), Nov 25: Police here have booked officials of the Public Works Department and Google Maps in connection with the death of three men whose car rolled over an under-construction bridge while following directions on the navigation app, an officer on Monday said.
The car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge in Dataganj Police Station area early Sunday.
Nitin and Ajit, aged 30, both brothers from Farrukhabad district, and Amit, 40, from Mainpuri district, were on their way from Noida to Faridpur in Bareilly to attend a wedding.
According to police, the driver was led by Google Maps into taking the unsafe route.
The incident took place on the Bareilly-Budaun border.
Dataganj Police Station SHO Gaurav Bishnoi said an FIR on charges of laxity in duty and others was filed against four engineers of the PWD, along with some unknown people.
The regional officer of Google Map has also been brought under the scope of investigation. His name is yet to be included in the FIR.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson of Google in a statement said, "Our deepest sympathies go out to the families. We're working closely with the authorities and providing our support to investigate the issue."
On Sunday, Faridpur Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said, "Earlier this year, floods caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse onto the river, but this change had not been updated in the system."
He said the bridge had no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach.
