PUNJAB recently appointed 741 patwaris!!

In a significant development, Punjab recently appointed 741 patwaris, despite an ongoing pen-down strike by revenue officials. This move by the Punjab government is aimed at ensuring the continued functioning of essential administrative tasks related to land revenue collection and record maintenance. The strike by revenue officials had disrupted these crucial functions, causing concerns among farmers, landowners, and other stakeholders.

The appointment of patwaris, who are responsible for land revenue collection and maintaining land records at the grassroots level, is seen as a strategic decision to mitigate the effects of the strike. It reflects the government’s commitment to maintaining the state’s revenue system and ensuring that land-related transactions and disputes can be resolved efficiently.

However, this development also underscores the need for addressing the concerns of the striking revenue officials, as their grievances may have underlying issues that need attention. Balancing the interests of both the government and its employees will be crucial in resolving this situation and ensuring the smooth operation of revenue-related activities in Punjab.
