Staffs at Registration office in Ranchi also complained that there was some problem with the software due to which they have been facing problems in saving the data required for registration.
“We have not been able to enter the data on time as it is taking much longer time than the actual time to save the documents resulting into long queue of applicants waiting for getting their land registered,” said a staff at Ranchi Registration Office requesting anonymity. Even though, their registration was done on time people have to wait for several hours, sometimes whole day, to get their work done, he added.
He further said that the speed generally remains good till 11 am, but it gets slowed down after that.
“We have been told that there is a problem in application itself from the JAP IT level, where some changes are being made in the software, due to which the speed has slowed down,” the staff said. It was working well for the last 4-5 days, but it again slowed down on Friday due to which a long queue of applicants has been created, he added.
A couple which had come to the registration office at Hinoo in Ranchi for getting a piece of land registered in their name, had to wait for quite long unnecessarily even though the registry work was completed within an hour.
“The day remained quite hectic due to the link failure as claimed by the staff at the Registry Office. We were made to wait up to 4 pm even though the registry was done quite on time within an hour. There was a long queue behind me, I doubt they might had to wait till late in the evening to get their work done,” said the husband requesting anonymity.
