For the first time in Haryana, Naib Tehsildars will go to every village and farm to measure the land. At present, only Patwari or Kanungo visit the village for consolidation work. Before now, Naib Tehsildars in Haryana were not directly responsible for the consolidation.
As many as 57 Naib Tehsildars who have completed their training have been allotted one village each and directions have been issued to start the consolidation work from October 1 and complete it within stipulated time.
Duties of 30 Naib Tehsildars have been assigned for villages of Bhiwani-Dadri district, eight in Rohtak, four in Jhajjar, three in Panipat, eight in Karnal, one in Hisar, two in Ambala and two in Gurugram.
Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala said, “64 villages in Haryana do not have consolidation and complaints regarding land disputes are usually reported from these villages every day. Hence, consolidation is important to resolve such cases.” He said, “For centuries, land records of these villages were registered in the Bigha and Biswa, while entire Haryana has land records registered in acre, kanal and marla. The land of the farmers of these villages is divided and the farmers were not able to find way to reach their fields. Due to consolidation, the zamindar will have legal ownership of his land.”
