While visiting the camp, MLAs Rajinderpal Kaur Chhina and Jeewan Singh Sangowal, and deputy commissioner (DC) Surabhi Malik interacted with the applicants and directed officials to ensure prompt disposal of the complaints.

Giving details, Malik said that over 31,00 applications, included 3,000 mutation cases and 100 land-ownership cases, were decided.

She added that while 500 mutations were decided by patwaris, 1,550 were finalised by kanungos. Circle revenue officers decided over 1,100 mutations, she said, adding that about 50 fresh applications were received during the camp.

Malik said special camps were being organised with an objective to reach out to the masses about the government’s schemes under the state’s “Sarkar Tuhade Dwar” initiative.

She said that the Punjab government has appointed new patwaris who will join their postings soon, easing the burden on their to-be colleagues currently holding additional charges. She said that the move was to pave way to streamline the working of the revenue department.
