Raipur, May 27
Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai has stated that officials or employees will be held accountable for errors in revenue records. If any incorrect entry is made through an official’s login, strict action will be taken against them. He gave these clear instructions during a review meeting held in Raigarh under the Good Governance Festival.
The Chief Minister emphasized to officials that public trust in the administration should not be shaken due to errors in land, farming, or other important documents. For this, it is essential to make the revenue system more accountable. He directed revenue officers to keep close supervision over the process of error correction.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister expressed dissatisfaction over the long-pending Lat Nala Irrigation Project and ordered its early completion. He also directed that all pending projects under the Atal Irrigation Scheme be completed on priority. Furthermore, he instructed the lifting of restrictions on land registration in the 26 villages falling under the Gomarda Wildlife Sanctuary area.
Chief Minister Sai asked officials to regularly visit rural areas so that minor issues can be resolved promptly. He stated that with the districts now being smaller, officials should take time to visit as many villages as possible.
