Punjab CM Mann cracks down on Tehsil bureaucracy

In order to stop the absence of officers and employees in Tehsil offices and to end the inconvenience to the common people, the Punjab Government, led by the Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, has taken a big decision and has given strict instructions to Tehsildars and Naib Tehsildars to be present in government offices from 9 am to evening.

Revenue and Rehabilitation Minister Hardip Singh Mundian today said this while directing the deputy commissioners to ensure the presence of officers in the tehsil offices. Besides, the attendance of Tehsildars, Naib Tehsildars, and Sub Registrars has also been directed to be recorded through the M-Seva app. For this, the GPS location of all the offices should be made available to the Revenue Department.

Mr. Mundian said that alternative arrangements should be made at vacant stations, keeping in mind the seniority and the availability of the required staff, so that no person who has come for registration has to face any problem. He also said that if any person has booked an appointment online on the website, then his registration should be ensured on the same day.

Financial Commissioner Revenue Anurag Verma also issued a letter to all the Deputy Commissioners to ensure strict compliance with the instructions issued by the Revenue Department. He said that the government's objective is that the common people should not face any problem in registering their properties.
