Sohan alleged that patwari was giving misleading information and so his case was not being resolved. The collector assured the farmer that his land records would be corrected . the collector marked his application for the time-limit meeting with the SDM.

Tehsildar sits on complaint for 6 months

Dhanpada of Barwaha tehsil had come to the public hearing to bring to the notice of collector the issue regarding a road dispute. Dhanpada said he had taken up the issue before the tehsildar around six months ago but the matter remained unresolved. The man said that since no action was taken even after 6 months, he decided to take up the issue before the collector at the public hearing.

The collector through video conferencing instructed Barwah SDM to ensure that tehsildar concerned redresses complaints generating at their level. Such complaints should be resolved by tehsildar and not be taken up at district-level, said the collector, instructing that in future, if such complaints are received, the tehsildar concerned will be responsible for ensuring their redressal.
