In a bid to enhance the efficiency of revenue offices in Mohali district, Deputy Commissioner Aashika Jain has constituted a Disciplinary Cell to address grievances related to revenue officials and staff. The cell, headed by Assistant Commissioner (General), will have a two-way functioning system - one for revenue officers and another for other staff.

Speaking during a review meeting at the District Administrative Complex, SAS Nagar, the Deputy Commissioner emphasized that the performance of revenue officials and staff would be ranked as "Good" or "Bad" based on grievances related to them. She directed Revenue Officers to dispose of complaints related to Revenue Department works carefully and diligently to ensure timely disposal.

To ensure seamless functioning of revenue offices, the Deputy Commissioner directed Revenue Officers to make arrangements for link officers to work as replacements in case of leave of Revenue Patwaris. Revenue Tehsildars were directed to relieve Revenue Patwaris and other staff by obtaining a charge report in time to effect their transfer orders timely.

The Deputy Commissioner also directed Sub Divisional Magistrates to submit collector rate proposals on a sub-division-wise basis, with clear remarks and logic in case of rate reduction in a particular area. Revenue Officers were asked to expedite pending mutations and jamabandis to update revenue records regularly.
