As part of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s vision of “Ease of Living,” the state government on Tuesday launched another ambitious initiative to make the lives of senior citizens dignified and more convenient.
From 1 April, the Prohibition, Excise and Registration Department of the Bihar government will launch Mobile Registration Units to facilitate property registration at home for senior citizens in the state who are 80 years of age or above and wish to register a plot of land or a flat.
Applicants can apply for this service online. The Registration Department will ensure that the registration process for land or flat is completed within seven working days.
In a message posted on ‘X’, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar stated that the decision has been taken to reduce the difficulties faced by citizens in their daily lives and to make life easier for them.
He said, “Arrangements are also being made to provide updated land information to buyers and sellers before registration. Under this system, after receiving an application request, the Registration Department will obtain the current status of the land from the Circle Office and provide it to the buyer. This will greatly benefit applicants and ensure they receive accurate and up-to-date information about the land.”
“I firmly believe that this initiative will prove to be highly beneficial for senior citizens aged 80 years or above and will make their daily lives much easier. Additionally, the system of providing accurate and updated land information will benefit everyone,” he added.
Earlier this month, the state government launched a door-step healthcare facility to ensure that needy senior citizens in the state can receive essential healthcare services at their homes whenever required, including nursing assistance, pathology tests at home, blood pressure and ECG testing, physiotherapy services, and all types of medical assistance during emergencies.
