For the first time, Naib Tehsildar will go to every village and farm to measure the land. At present only Patwari or Kanungo used to visit the village for consolidation work. As many as 57 Naib Tehsildars who have completed their training are not only allotted one village each, but directions have also been issued to start the consolidation work from October 1.
Duties of 30 Naib Tehsildars have been assigned for villages of Bhiwani-Dadri district, while eight have been deputed in Rohtak, four in Jhajjar, three in Panipat, eight in Karnal, one in Hisar, two in Ambala, two and two in Gurugram. Before now, Naib Tehsildars in Haryana were not directly responsible for the consolidation.
Deputy Chief Minister, Dushyant Chautala said that 64 villages in Haryana do not have consolidation. Complaints regarding land disputes are usually reported from these villages every day. He said that consolidation is very important to resolve such cases.
He said that for centuries, the land records of these villages were registered in the Bigha and Biswa, while the 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 a way to reach their fields. He informed that due to consolidation, the ‘Zamindar’ (Land Owner) will have legal ownership of his land.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that all Naib Tehsildars have been directed to complete the task of consolidation within the stipulated time period.
