KP Govt announces reforms in Revenue Deptt to facilitate people
PESHAWAR (APP): The Khyber Pakthunkhwa government has announced different reforms in the Revenue department to improve service delivery and facilitate people.
The government has decided to simplify people’s related affairs of the revenue and patwar department and has imposed a ban on all kinds of transfers and postings including of the patwaris.
However, prior permission would be taken for any transfer due to unavoidable circumstances. Pir Haroon Shah, special assistant to the chief minister in a statement here said that all affairs of patwar would be performed in the government’s fixed offices and patwar houses rather in private patwar centres.
He said strict disciplinary action would be taken against absent employees and those paying unnecessary visits to the government offices for transfer and choice postings. All the patwar issues would be performed by the appointed patwari and there would be a complete ban on keeping a private patwari.
He said it has been decided to constitute provincial and district level committees with members of highly reputable personalities and the government officials for speedy disposal of the peoples’ complaints and provision of quick services to masses.
Similarly special committees comprising officials of the administration and police officers would be constituted to prevent illegal occupation of all types of lands particularly properties/communal lands of the widows and orphans. These committees would work with consultation of religious scholars and local elders, he concluded.
