NAREDCO all praise for Bhu Bharati, BuildNow in Telangana

HYDERABAD: The National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) Telangana on Wednesday extended its support to the government's initiative of Bhu Bharati portal and BuildNow application.
Speaking to the media here, the NAREDCO members asserted that the Bhu Bharti portal will serve as a restructured and more efficient version of Dharani portal, addressing challenges by simplifying processes, correcting legacy errors and improving public confidence in land ownership records.
They said that Bhu Bharati is a modernised Record of Rights (RoR) system that provides clean and verified land titles essential for reducing legal risks and supporting developers in making secure, informed investment decisions.
NAREDCO president Vijaya Sai Meka said: 'The Bhu Bharathi initiative marks a significant stride toward a transparent and efficient land administration system in Telangana. Alongside this, the BuildNow application is set to streamline building and layout approvals, further easing project execution for developers".
"NAREDCO Telangana believes this initiative will bring immense value to developers, investors and buyers alike. The Council is committed to working closely with the government to ensure that the real estate sector maximises the benefits of this progressive reform,' he added.
He further said that the Bhu Bharati portal was a vital reform aimed at transforming the state's land governance framework. The core objective of this initiative is to establish a transparent, efficient and legally robust land administration system that strengthens land security, reduces disputes, and simplifies property transactions, he added.
The Council also urged the government to maintain an open channel of communication with industry stakeholders to ensure seamless implementation, ongoing improvements and user-friendly access to the Bhu Bharathi platform.
Such collaboration is essential to positioning Telangana as a model for land reforms that not only support economic development but also build a future-ready and investor-friendly real estate environment, the members said.

'Grave war crimes': Iran slams Israeli attacks at UN Human Rights Council

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on June 21 accused Israel of committing 'grave war crimes' by targeting the country's nuclear facilities, telling the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) that such attacks are 'absolutely banned under international law'. Speaking at the Council's session in Geneva, Araghchi described Israel's recent strikes on Iran as 'unprovoked aggression' and 'an unjust war' that began in the early hours of June 13. He said the operations had targeted off-duty military personnel, university professors, residential areas and hospitals, resulting in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of Iranians. 'Our peaceful nuclear facilities have also been targeted despite their being under full monitoring of the IAEA,' he said. 'Israel attacks on nuclear facilities are grave war crimes, given also the danger of environmental and health catastrophe as the result of radiological leakage.' He also criticised what he called a betrayal of diplomacy, noting that Iran had been engaged in talks with the United States aimed at reaching a peaceful agreement over its nuclear programme. 'We were attacked in the midst of an ongoing diplomatic process. We were supposed to meet with Americans on June 15 to craft a very promising agreement for peaceful resolution of the issues fabricated over our peaceful nuclear programme. It was a betrayal of diplomacy and an unprecedented blow to the foundation of international law and UN system,' he said. Calling on member states to act, Araghchi said, 'This is a historic moment for human civilisation… The world, every State, every UN mechanism and body, has to be alarmed and has to act now to stop the aggressor, to end impunity, and to hold the criminals accountable.' Israel condemns Iran being given floor at UNHRC Earlier in the day, Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon condemned the Council's decision to give Iran a platform to air its views. 'The fact that Minister Araghchi has been invited to address the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva tomorrow is even more shameful and demonstrates that this UN body has lost its sense of purpose and its moral compass,' Danon said, in a letter addressed to the president of the UN Security Council. 'It is shameful,' Danon wrote, referring to Araghchi's claim that Iran only targets military sites. 'Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi lying and claiming to target military sites is a pathetic attempt to distract from what has clearly become a modus operandi for his regime: targeting civilians and wreaking havoc and destruction on the Israeli people.' Hostilities escalate The situation in West Asia worsened on June 21 as both Israel and Iran stepped up their attacks. Israel struck key nuclear infrastructure sites in Iran. In a significant retaliation, Iran launched missiles equipped with cluster munitions—marking the first confirmed use of such weapons in the current conflict. One of Iran's missiles struck an Israeli hospital on June 20, leaving many injured. In the wake of the hospital strike, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran's leadership would bear a 'full price' for its actions. He said Israel's military operations were progressing faster than anticipated. 'We are moving faster than planned. Our goal is clear: to neutralise Iran's nuclear capabilities before it is too late,' Netanyahu said. Also on June 20, Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz said that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei 'can no longer be allowed to exist', pointing to what he said was the latter's stated intent to destroy Israel. US President Donald Trump, however, has been non-committal regarding America's role in the conflict. While US officials are reported to be preparing for a possible strike on Iran in the coming days, President Trump on June 19, when asked if he was moving closer to striking Iran's nuclear facilities, said: 'I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.' While Israel has already hit Iran's nuclear facilities at Natanz, a much more fortified complex exists under a mountain in Fodrow. As of now, only the US is said to have a bomb large enough—the 30,000-pound, bunker-busting GBU-57—that can possibly penetrate the mountainside and the fortified structure at Fodrow.

To prepare a centralised registry of all lawyers, law firms, says BCI

The Bar Council of India (BCI) is in the process of preparing a centralised registry of all law firms and lawyers to establish a democratically elected, pan-India organisation of Indian law firms, the lawyers' governing body said. "This organisation will ensure that voices from every region and practice level are included in the policy dialogues," BCI said. The Council was responding to the Society of Indian Law Firms' (SILF's) opposition to the entry of foreign lawyers and law firms into the country. In its press release, the BCI said SILF did not represent the broad spectrum of Indian law firms. 'It functions primarily as a closed group dominated by a few large, well-established firms. Its stance and actions do not reflect the concerns or aspirations of more than 90 per cent of India's smaller or emerging law firms,' the BCI said in a press note. The Council, which is the apex lawyers' representative and governance body, had on June 14 constituted a high-level committee chaired by Cyril Shroff, the managing partner of law firm Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, to examine concerns around the May 2025 notification on the entry and operation of foreign lawyers and law firms in India. Shortly after this, on June 17, SILF formed a committee of lawyers, headed by Shardul Shroff of Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, to suggest changes to the recently notified BCI rules allowing foreign lawyers and law firms to work in India. The BCI said that the consistent feedback it had received indicated that SILF has historically acted to preserve its members' commercial interests at the expense of young, deserving Indian lawyers and new legal practices striving to grow in an increasingly competitive and global legal arena. The lawyers' governing body also alleged that law firms comprising SILF had maintained close affiliations with major foreign legal firms, enabling them to create a 'parallel legal services economy, wherein foreign legal work is funnelled through select Indian firms'. Corporate, transactional, and arbitration-related legal services in India have been monopolised by a small group of law firms, which has stifled the growth of smaller law firms and talented young lawyers, the BCI said. 'The BCI, through these regulations, seeks to democratize access to cross-border legal work, and dismantle the structural monopolies that have long existed within the Indian legal services sector,' the release said.

Only 12% Women In Real Estate, National Council Aims To Bridge Gap

India's growing real estate sector, which is reportedly projected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, is seeing gradual growth in the participation of women. However, they currently only comprise 11-12% of the workforce, according to reports. The women's wing of the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO), known as NAREDCO Mahi, is working to change that. NAREDCO, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India, is focused on the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. Through NAREDCO Mahi, women are being empowered to take on key roles across the real estate value chain. The roles include design, planning, site supervision, and finance. "We are actively engaging with stakeholders to create inclusive pathways for women through our upskilling and outreach programmes," said Ms Smita Patil, President of NAREDCO Mahi. "In Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, women are now visible in legal, marketing, and client-facing roles that were once uncharted," she added. According to NAREDCO's data, 1 in 5 architects in India is a woman. Similarly, in Tier 1 cities, more women are leading real estate advisory firms than ever before. With the help of their formal training plans, digital certification programmes and labour training drills, the NAREDCO Mahi aims to provide upskilling opportunities to unskilled women labourers as well as promote their participation in skilled jobs like site engineering and construction planning.
