A deadlock over the ownership scheme's registry has emerged between the state government and patwaris, prompting officials to collect details of past grievances before possible action.
The ownership scheme, aimed at converting tenancy rights into land ownership, has hit a stalemate as patwaris have resisted completing the registry work. Government officials say the impasse is delaying the issuance of ownership certificates to eligible beneficiaries.
In response, the administration has announced that it will compile a comprehensive record of earlier complaints and pending cases involving patwaris. This data collection is intended to identify patterns of non‑cooperation and to lay the groundwork for disciplinary measures.
Sources indicate that the move is part of a broader effort to enforce accountability within the land‑record department and to ensure the scheme’s objectives are met without further delay.
The authorities have not disclosed specific timelines for any punitive action, but they emphasized that the gathered information will guide subsequent steps.
Stakeholders are watching closely, as the outcome will affect thousands of tenant farmers awaiting formal ownership under the scheme.
