In order to address the issue of pending revenue cases, for the first time Revenue Lok Adalats were being organized in the state and the first such Adalats were organised on 30th October, 2023, stated the Chief Minister.
Considering the overwhelming response from the general public and the success rate of resolving the pendency through such Adalats, the State Government has decided to conduct these Adalats on the last two days of every month, remarked the Chief Minister.
He added that this initiative aims to prioritize the resolution of pending revenue cases and also reducing the need for frequent visits to the revenue offices. He said that overwhelming response to Revenue Lok Adalats was evident as a record number of pending revenue cases have been resolved within a short span of three months. “It is for the first time that any State Government has initiated a seamless process to dispose off pending revenue cases on a mission mode,” stated the Chief Minister.
Sh. Sukhu said that the focus of the state government was on good governance and dedicated to address the grievances of people and has also introduced ‘Sarkar Gaon Ke Dwar’ initiative, demonstrating a proactive approach to connect with the common man, the Chief Minister concluded.
