Stamp vendors go on indefinite strike

Stamp vendors under the aegis of Ghaziabad Tehsil Compund Sangh went on an indefinite strike against the proposed move of the Uttar Pradesh government to introduce e-stamping for registering properties from April 1.
On the pattern of New Delhi, the UP government has decided to introduce electronic-stamping facility, a moved aimed at ensuring hassle-free transactions and prevent fraudulent practices at the registrar office.
The protesters claimed that after the implementation of e-stamping facility, more than a thousand stamp vendors of the district will be left jobless.
Members of the organisation said they will continue the protest against e-stamping till it was withdrawn by the state government.
