Longleng registrars trained on birth, death registration

DIMAPUR — A district-level training on online registration of births and deaths was conducted at the conference hall of the District Economics and Statistics office in Longleng on February 23rd. Registrars from various registration units within Longleng attended the training session.

According to a DIPR report, Dharam Raj, deputy commissioner and district chief registrar of births and deaths, spoke on the occasion about the role of birth and death registrars.

He discouraged the issuance of multiple birth certificates, emphasising that an individual can only have one birth or death certificate in their lifetime. Referring to instances where multiple certificates are obtained by the public, the Deputy Commissioner stated that such cases reflect negligence in fulfilling one’s duty and underscored the need to prevent such occurrences in the future.

He insisted on maintaining an accurate record of both birth and death occurrences and expressed hope that after completing the department’s training programme, all registrars would be efficient, sincere, and accountable in their duties and responsibilities.

The training was conducted by Chonbeni Oren Patton, economic and statistical officer from the Office of District Economics and Statistics, Kohima.
