Land Revenue Minister Shri Deepak Birua said that revenue should be collected keeping in mind the convenience of the common people on land related issues. Therefore, bring mutation and other land related works under the purview of the Right to Service Act. Officers should work towards completing such works on time. So that the common people can get better facilities and the government can increase revenue collection. Birua was speaking while giving instructions in a virtual meeting with all the divisional commissioners and departmental secretaries here on Thursday.
The Minister said that even to get the receipt of their own land, people have to visit the court and the employees' office. Therefore, now the people of the state will get the facility of bar code. Through this, people will be able to issue receipts for their land through mobile itself. The department will take further action on this. He said that if receipts are issued through bar code, people will not need to go here and there to get receipts issued.
In the meeting, a proposal came up by the Chaibasa Commissioner to recover dues worth two thousand crores from the companies of Jamshedpur district. On which the Minister immediately took cognizance of the matter and directed to take further action on it. He said that there are many such cases, from where the state's revenue will increase if revenue is recovered, but there is a need to work on it.
On the spot, the Minister has also shown strictness in the matter of occupation of government land and directed to prepare a list of whether Jamabandi is maintained on government land or not. He said that the river is being left on the verge of extinction by unnecessarily occupying the banks of the Harmu River. Further action should be ensured by discussing it at the departmental level.
