SHIMLA: Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has said that during the special drive of ‘Revenue Lok Adalats’, 89,091 mutation cases and 6,029 pending cases of partition have been disposed of.
The CM said the month of January this year alone saw the resolution of 23,159 mutations and 1,958 partition cases through various Revenue Adalats organised across the state. He said that in January 2024, Kangra district led the way with 6,121 mutation cases being resolved, followed by 3,212 cases in Mandi district and 2,289 in Una district. With 543 cases, Una led in settling of partition cases, followed by 464 cases in Kangra and 303 cases in Mandi.
Sukhu said that the state government was committed to provide relief to common man. In order to address the issue of pending revenue cases, for the first time Revenue Lok Adalats were being organised in the state and the first such adalats were organised on October 30, 2023, said the Chief Minister.
Considering the overwhelming response from the general public and the success rate of resolving the pendency through such adalats, the state government has decided to conduct these Adalats on the last two days of every month, remarked the Chief Minister.
He said the initiative aimed to prioritise the resolution of pending revenue cases and also reducing the need for frequent visits to the revenue offices. He said overwhelming response to Revenue Lok Adalats was evident as a record number of pending revenue cases had been resolved within a short span of three months.
“It is for the first time that any state government has initiated a seamless process to dispose of pending revenue cases on a mission mode,” said the Chief Minister.
Sukhu said that the focus of the state government was on good governance and dedicated to address the grievances of people and has also introduced ‘Sarkar Gaon Ke Dwar’ initiative, demonstrating a proactive approach to connect with the common man, the Chief Minister said.
