The Consumer Protection Council of Tamil Nadu has urged the Revenue Minister to establish a high-powered commission to address numerous complaints regarding the Updating of Registry (UDR) documents. At a recent annual general meeting, the council highlighted that many issues, such as incorrect survey numbers, misspelled names, and discrepancies in land documents, have resulted in significant delays and legal disputes.
