THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: People are tired of queuing in front of the vendors' office as the e-stamping process is not fast enough. Stamp papers, except those of 50 rupees and those for larger amounts, are not available. The information including the name and address of the parties involved in the title deed registration and the purpose of registration should be uploaded by the vendors to 'PEARL', the portal of the Registration Department. After that, the further steps including payment should be completed using the OTP number sent to the mobile phone of the title deed party. Delay in receiving the OTP number due to slow server speed is the major bottleneck. The e-stamp for registration purposes can be printed in colour and for non-registration purposes in black and white. Hundreds of people come in front of the vendors for both types of needs. Not all vendors have embraced the e-stamping system. Printed Stamp papers above 10 rupees are still allowed to be used, but Stamp papers are not available everywhere. Stamp papers are required for many purposes on a daily basis like for rent agreement, giving bond to students to join various courses, buying a vehicle etc. People can get an e-stamp for any amount but the time it takes to get it is bothering them. TRAI regulation New regulations introduced by TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) for services are also causing delay in receiving OTP. TRAI introduced restrictions on SMS messages sent by government and private organizations under digital ledger technology from December 1. The requirement is that TRAI's approval is required for the format in which the SMS is sent. The template for this should be registered.ROSEN, A TOP-RANKED LAW FIRM, Encourages PACS Group Inc.

At one point, 1 in 5 prisoners had COVID-19, according to a tally kept by The Associated Press.

King Charles' health continuing to decline? Kate Middleton's big New Year’s resolution, wants family to reconcile and bring Harry homeST. JOHN’S, N.L. - Former Newfoundland and Labrador premiers say a draft energy agreement signed Thursday with Quebec marks a historic break in a long-standing political standoff. Brian Tobin, who was premier from 1996 to 2000, describes the sweeping new energy contract as a long-awaited “breaking of political gridlock” between Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec. Tobin says he has no doubt that ending the 1969 deal that gave Quebec nearly free electricity from Labrador was a top priority for every premier since Joey Smallwood, the man who signed the contract. Roger Grimes ran the province between 2001 to 2003, and he says all of the province’s premiers wished they had found a willing partner in Quebec to reshape the agreement. Pointing to the province’s unsuccessful attempts to challenge the deal in court, he says Quebec Premier François Legault had no obligation to throw out the contract but saw a good opportunity and showed political will. The two provinces signed an agreement in principle Thursday under which Quebec will pay higher rates for power and partner with Newfoundland and Labrador on new hydroelectric projects in Labrador. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 13, 2024.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Jojo Uga's 2-yard touchdown run capped a 24-point fourth quarter and Albany beat Hampton 41-34 on Saturday in a season finale. Jack Iuliano recovered a fumble by Malcom May at the Hampton 24, and though it took 10 plays, Uga went in for the touchdown and the game's final lead. Malcolm Mays scored on a 25-yard run for Hampton (5-7, 2-6 Coastal Athletic Association) but the PAT was blocked and Kevon Angry ran it back for Albany (4-8, 2-6), leaving Hampton with a 34-27 lead with 10 minutes remaining.

Syracuse and Georgetown meet for the 100th time Saturday when the Orange host the Hoyas in the latest installment of their classic rivalry. As former Big East Conference rivals, Syracuse and Georgetown have staged many memorable contests over the decades with the Orange holding a 54-45 all-time advantage. The teams still meet annually despite the Orange now playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Syracuse has won five of the last seven meetings, including a 12-point triumph in Washington D.C. last December. "It definitely felt like a Big East game," Hoyas coach Ed Cooley said after last season's contest. This time around, Georgetown (7-2) is coming off a 73-60 loss to West Virginia in which the team shot under 38 percent from the floor and committed 14 turnovers. "When the ball has music, when the ball is singing, unbelievable music happens," Cooley said. "The music is the play. The music is body movement and screening an open shot. We didn't have good music today." Thomas Sorber is the team's leading scorer at 15.4 points per game, although the freshman has failed to reach that average in six of the last seven games. Syracuse (5-4), meanwhile, is coming off a 102-85 win over Albany despite the absence of leading scorer J.J. Starling (19.8 points), who is out indefinitely with a hand injury. In his stead, freshman Donnie Freeman supplied 24 points on 10-of-13 shooting despite playing just 23 minutes due to an illness. "Whatever (illness) he has, he needs to keep that, if he can keep playing like, whatever he was feeling," Orange coach Adrian Autry joked. Syracuse will be looking for more success from 3-point range after hitting 6-of-15 (40 percent) against Albany. In their previous game -- a five-point loss to Notre Dame -- the Orange failed to make a 3-pointer for the first time in more than a decade. No Syracuse player has made more than 11 3-pointers this season -- and even that player (Chris Bell) is only shooting 25 percent from long distance. --Field Level MediaNone
