The Union government’s centralized portal for registering births and deaths, known as the Civil Registration System (CRS), has been plagued by technical issues for the past four months, leading to significant delays in the issuance of birth and death certificates. These glitches have caused frustration among citizens and state officials, as many have reported difficulties accessing the portal and completing the registration process. The resulting backlog of applications has raised concerns about the impact on essential services and the ability of citizens to obtain necessary documentation for various legal and administrative purposes. Although the government is reportedly working to resolve the technical issues, the prolonged malfunction has sparked questions about the reliability of digital systems in managing crucial public services. Stakeholders are urging the government to prioritize the resolution of these issues to ensure that citizens can access vital services without unnecessary delays.
