These entries don't belong here.

Note that this record is for `cirg.cirg.up.nic.in', as the origin of
this file is `cirg.up.nic.in'. Unless the `up.nic.in' zone contains an
A record for `cirg.up.nic.in', the MX record is invalid, as is the NS
record above.

`localhost' should be terminated with a dot, otherwise you're defining
an A record for `localhost.localhost'.

These entries don't belong here. Also, they are relative to the domain
`localhost', i.e. `cirg.up.nic.in.localhost' etc.

This doesn't belong here either.

These entries are all bogus; they define top-level domains, which
won't resolve.

The real problem seems to be that up.nic.in hasn't delegated the
subdomain cirg.up.nic.in:

> server nicnet.nic.in.
Default Server: nicnet.nic.in
Address: 164.100.3.1

Server: nicnet.nic.in
Address: 164.100.3.1

*** No name server (NS) records available for cirg.up.nic.in.
