 "Yogi Adityanath")
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led government in Uttar Pradesh has sought explanations from 12 district magistrates of the state on negligence in revenue-related matters, said an official statement from the government of UP on Friday.
During a high-level review of the Revenue Board held on October 31, District Magistrates of districts that performed badly in settling total revenue matters, land measurement (paimaish), and Kurra-Bantwara were asked for explanation. Also, the Sub-District Magistrates (SDMs) were issued warnings, and adverse entries were given to Tehsildars, added the statement.
Additional Chief Secretary of the Revenue Board, Sudhir Garg, emphasized that the Chief Minister has placed special importance on the swift resolution of revenue matters in the state and highlighted that revenue disputes often lead to challenges in maintaining law and order.
In response to this concern, the Chief Minister has issued directives to launch a two-month special campaign aimed at the prompt and timely resolution of pending cases in 2941 revenue courts of the state. It is noteworthy that the progress in clearing pending revenue cases is monitored every 15 days at the Chief Minister's level as he has firmly instructed underperforming officers to enhance their efficiency in handling these matters, the statement read.
Under this, explanation has been sought from the District Magistrates of Pratapgarh, Jaunpur, Sant Ravidas Nagar, Ayodhya, and Rae Bareli, which are the worst performing districts in disposal of total revenue cases. Apart from this, warnings have been issued to SDMs of five tehsils Safipur (Unnao), Loni (Ghaziabad), Koraon (Prayagraj), Nakud (Saharanpur), and Fatehabad (Agra), for their inadequate handling of land measurement matters.
Additionally, explanation has been sought from the District Magistrates of poorly performing districts, including Meerut, Sant Ravidas Nagar, Prayagraj, Shahjahanpur, and Agra, in this regard.
