Sonbhadra/Uttar Pradesh-
With the aim of expediting revenue collection in the district, ensuring timely disposal of old revenue promises and effectively implementing priority schemes of the government, a detailed review meeting of revenue, non-tax and CM dashboard was organized in the Collectorate Auditorium under the chairmanship of District Magistrate Charcha Gaur.
In the meeting, the District Magistrate reviewed the department-wise revenue collection, achievement against the set target, pending revenue promises and various departmental matters and gave necessary directions to the concerned officers.
The District Magistrate said that revenue collection is one of the priorities of the government. All concerned officers should regularly review department-wise progress against the set targets and speed up recovery by making effective action plans. If unnecessary laxity is found in revenue collection, accountability of the concerned officer will be fixed.
While reviewing various pending cases including revenue suits, especially Section 116, the District Magistrate directed that the cases older than 45 days should be disposed of on the basis of top priority by running a campaign. He said that no case should be kept pending unnecessarily and regular monitoring of each case should be ensured. The accountability of those officers at whose level old and large number of cases are found pending will be determined. Providing timely justice and relief to the common people coming to the revenue courts should be a priority.
During the review of CM Dashboard, the District Magistrate took information about the department-wise progress of the priority schemes and development programs of the government. He directed the officers to regularly monitor the progress and ranking of their department and bring immediate improvements in the schemes and indices whose performance is not as per expectations.
The District Magistrate said that departmental progress should not be limited to figures only, but the benefits of the schemes should reach every eligible person on time and the positive impact of the development works should be clearly visible on the ground. All officers should ensure that the set targets are completed in a timely and quality manner.
Additional District Magistrate (Finance and Revenue) Vagish Kumar Shukla, Deputy District Magistrate Robertsganj Ashish Tripathi, Deputy District Magistrate Obra Ravi Paswan, Deputy District Magistrate Ghorawal Vishal Kumar and officials of revenue and related departments were present in the meeting.
