With record revenue cases resolved in the last three months, Revenue Lok Adalats have got an overwhelming public response in Himachal Pradesh with 89,091 mutation cases and 6,029 pending cases of partition having been disposed off.

Disclosing this, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said here on Thursday that during the month of January alone the state witnessed resolution of 23,159 mutations and 1,958 partition cases through various these revenue adalats.

“In January 2024, district Kangra led the way with 6,121 mutation cases being resolved, followed by district Mandi with 3,212 cases and district Una with 2,289 cases. With 543 cases, Una led the districts in settling the partition cases, followed by 464 cases in Kangra and 303 cases in Mandi district,” said Sukhu, while reiterating that his government was committed to provide relief to the common man.

In order to address the issue of pending revenue cases, for the first time Revenue Lok Adalats were being organized in the state and the first such Adalats were organised on October 30, 2023, said the Chief Minister.

Considering the overwhelming response from the general public and the success rate of resolving the pendency through such Adalats, the State Government has decided to conduct these Adalats on the last two days of every month, he added.

He said that this initiative aims to prioritize the resolution of pending revenue cases and also reduce the need for frequent visits to the revenue offices.

“Overwhelming response to Revenue Lok Adalats was evident as a record number of pending revenue cases have been resolved within a short span of three months,” he said, adding that it is for the first time that any state government has initiated a seamless process to dispose off pending revenue cases on a mission mode.

The focus of the state government was on good governance and dedicated to addressing the grievances of people, said Sukhu, adding that the ‘Sarkar Gaon Ke Dwar’ initiative has been started by the state government, demonstrating a proactive approach to connect with the common man.
