Due to the strike, registration-related work has remained disrupted, causing inconvenience to members of the public who are unable to complete property registration formalities.<\/p>\n<p>The demonstrators are opposing the proposed move to hand over registration-related services to private companies or through a proposed &#8220;Nibandh Mitra&#8221; system.<\/p>\n<p>According to the protesters, such a move would amount to privatization of registration services and could threaten the employment of document writers, advocates, typists, and e-stamp vendors who have been associated with the system for years.<\/p>\n<h2>Pradeep Mathur Joins Protest<\/h2>\n<p>Former Congress MLA <strong>Pradeep Mathur<\/strong> visited the protest site and extended his support to the agitating groups.<\/p>\n<p>He was accompanied by Congress Metropolitan President <strong>Pandit Yatendra Mukadam<\/strong>, who also expressed solidarity with the protesters.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing those present, Mathur described the proposed arrangement as <strong>&#8220;anti-employment&#8221;<\/strong> and alleged that it could negatively impact the livelihoods of people dependent on registration-related services.<\/p>\n<h2>Demand to Withdraw Proposed System<\/h2>\n<p>Mathur urged the government to reconsider the proposed policy and withdraw what he termed a &#8220;black law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He stated that thousands of families connected with registration work could face uncertainty if the system is handed over to private operators.<\/p>\n<p>The former MLA emphasized that public services should remain accessible and should not be shifted in a manner that affects traditional employment opportunities.<\/p>\n<h2>Public Facing Difficulties<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, the continued strike has created difficulties for citizens visiting the Registry Office for property-related documentation and registration work.<\/p>\n<p>With registration activities largely stalled, many applicants have been forced to postpone transactions until normal operations resume.<\/p>\n<h2>Protesters Stand Firm<\/h2>\n<p>Representatives of the protesting organizations reiterated that their agitation would continue until the government provides clarity and addresses their concerns regarding the proposed privatization model.<\/p>\n<p>They have demanded that registration services remain under the existing system and that the interests of all stakeholders associated with the registration process be protected.<\/p>\n<h2>MathuraNow View<\/h2>\n<p>The ongoing protest highlights growing concerns among professionals linked to registration services over the proposed restructuring of the system.<\/p>\n<p>While the government may view modernization and outsourcing as a way to improve efficiency, protesters argue that such changes should not come at the cost of existing livelihoods. As the strike enters its second week, attention is now focused on whether authorities will engage in dialogue to resolve the impasse and restore normal functioning at the Registry Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Congress MLA Pradeep Mathur extended support to protesting deed writers, advocates, e-stamp vendors and typists opposing the proposed privatization of registry services in Mathura.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3480,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2007],"tags":[2024,2021,2022,2026,213,106,2019,2020,2023,2025],"class_list":["post-3478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-civic-issues","tag-congress-mathura","tag-document-writers-association","tag-e-stamp-vendors","tag-local-news","tag-mathura-news","tag-mathuranow","tag-pradeep-mathur","tag-registry-office-protest","tag-registry-privatization","tag-yatendra-mukadam"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3478"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3478\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
