Punjab scraps ₹80 charge to download FIRs move after backlash
The Punjab government has withdrawn its notification announcing a charge of ₹80 to download FIR copies from the government's online portal, Sanjh. The move to charge money for downloading FIRs, which came into effect from March 23, drew criticism from opposition parties and legal activists. A petition was also filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, challenging the move.
