Deputy Commissioner Sunil Kumar on Tuesday took a look at internal resources and revenue collection by different departments in Hazaribagh.
Seeking better collections, Kumar instructed the municipal council executive officer to make a list of tax defaulters, especially notorious ones. He also directed the council to review and evaluate rates of taxes and try to fix a reasonable amount. The DC told transport officials to check registration of coal companies’ vehicles and start a drive against overloading.
The district registrar was told to contact circle officers to get a list of Government land in blocks, plot values and keep an eye out if any seemed lower than expected. Officials of the weights & measurement department were directed to organise camps at block level to check tools used by shopkeepers.
An NTPC representative present at the meeting also gave clarification, saying the RR Policy directives were being followed at Barkagaon. Kumar also promised to review the list of land disputes submitted by the representative.
