AP to launch instant auto-mutation system for property transfers in 17 municipal corporations
VIJAYAWADA: The State government will launch an Instant Auto-Mutation System for property ownership transfers on August 1, initially in 17 municipal corporations. The system will automatically update municipal property records during property registration, eliminating the need for citizens to visit Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) separately. Auto-mutation will be triggered once the buyer pays the applicable mutation fee and clears all pending municipal dues, including property tax, water and sewerage charges, and vacant land tax. Municipal Administration and Urban Development Principal Secretary S Suresh Kumar called the initiative a 'citizen-first reform' and a significant shift in service delivery. 'This is not just a technological upgrade, it's about transparency, speed, and removing red tape,' he affirmed. Developed in coordination with the Registrations and Stamps Department, the reform aims to eliminate delays, duplication, and departmental misalignment. Orientation sessions for municipal commissioners, sub-registrars, and district registrars were held on Friday to facilitate the rollout. Beyond Aadhaar and mobile verification, the system will include PAN card validation, electricity data, and geo-tagging to improve accuracy and bring unassessed properties into the tax net. The government has planned an awareness campaign and staff training within 48 hours.

Smart signals in place, NMC begins installing AI-powered speed radars, ETInfra
Advt Advt The first phase of the ₹197 crore Integrated Intelligent Traffic Management System (IITMS) project underway, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), through implementing agency Keltron, has now begun deploying AI-powered speed radar systems on the city's major roads. This comes after Keltron completed integration of IITMS at 10 of the 171 identified traffic junctions in the pilot installation of the speed radar system was completed on the busy Omkar Nagar Square–Manewada Square with radar sensors, ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras, and high-intensity strobe flash units, the system is capable of detecting over speeding vehicles in real-time, capturing licence plates, and instantly transmitting data to the city's traffic control command centre "The radar system was successfully calibrated and integrated. Once a vehicle exceeds the speed limit, the system triggers the camera to capture high-resolution images of the number plate, even at night," said a senior Keltron AI-powered enforcement system is a major upgrade under the IITMS project, which aims to modernise traffic management , improve road safety, and bring down accident rates in the radar unit on the Omkar Nagar–Manewada stretch is the first of many planned across 32 major roads, where traffic volume and speeding are key concerns. At some junctions or routes, multiple radar units will be installed to cover both sides of the parallel, Keltron has also initiated the conversion of 50 traffic intersections under IITMS. This includes the installation of smart traffic signals , vehicle actuated systems, surveillance cameras, and real-time traffic data integration at each junction.
