EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, June 14: Jammu Kashmir Sharnarthi Action Committee (JKSAC) has reiterated its demand for constitution of high level committee to probe the violation of Agrarian Reform Act 1976 being committed by Revenue Department since decades under the patronage of their senior officers particularly in respect of DPs settled on lands in the rural areas of Jammu Province.
In a meeting of JKSAC held here today, the participants appealed to Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and Shaleen Kabra, Principal Secy. Revenue to take cognizance of this sensitive issue seriously and urged upon to intervene to put a rein on revenue officers/officials particularly Tehsildars and Patwaris having no respect for the law and are looting the people in broad day light.
Addressing the meeting of DPs, President JKSAC, Gurdev Singh along with Dwarka Nath and Capt. Puran Singh, Joginder Lal and Khem Raj said that, how much incredible it may sound but it is a hard truth that Revenue deptt is itself a Govt within the Govt. The officers/officials of this deptt are the govt employees getting their pays from the govt exchequer but they work as per whims and fancies of non-players. They violate the law and make fun of it. He said their unlawful activities compelled DPs and others to go for litigations and after years of indulging in such litigations when orders are passed by Hon’ble Court, Tribunals, certain other officers delegated Agrarian Reform powers in favour of DPs as per Agrarian Reform laws are not implemented by many tehsildars and patwaris. He said that district-wise data of such order would be produced before the media in the coming days.
He appealed to Lt Governor and Principal Secretary, to intervene and issue strict advisory to the revenue deptt. not to violate the Act and attest mutation DPs allotted lands where it requires and also possession of their lands would be given to them as per the said section of Agrarian Refrom Act without further loss of time and also constitute a high level committee to probe the violations committed till date to restore the public faith. |
