Ban on 3G-4G internet impeding issuance of domicile certificates: Officials

The continuing ban on 3G-4G internet service is proving a big impediment in issuance of domicile certificates in J&K, officials said on Tuesday.

The issuance of these certificates has taken a heavy toll on designated officials’ work whose much time is wasted every day in awaiting OTPs and in other related technical problems.

“There are numerous hardships in issuing domicile certificates. We are unable to contain all cases in a day due to absence of proper internet services in J&K,” an official wishing not to be named told KNS.

He said it is impossible to look, check and verify all cases in a day and then issue certificates to applicants because non-availability of high-speed internet services across J&K has hampered the system.
