Chandigarh- Haryana Deputy Chief Minister, Mr. Dushyant Chautala has instructed all Deputy Commissioners in the state to ensure that property IDs issued under the Swamitav Yojana are registered in the name of the rightful owner only after a thorough investigation. Any objections that may arise in this process should be addressed and resolved before initiating the registry. The Deputy Chief Minister, who also holds the portfolio of Revenue Department, conveyed these directives to Deputy Commissioners and Divisional Commissioners across the state through a video conference held here today. Minister of State, Sh Anup Dhanak was also present in the meeting.
Mr. Dushyant Chautala emphasized the importance of ensuring comprehensive coverage in the issuance of property IDs, citing the successful implementation in Sirsi village in Karnal district, where IDs were issued for the entire village. He directed Deputy Commissioners to extend this approach to all villages, encompassing all residents rather than a select few. He also instructed Deputy Commissioners to collaborate with Panchayats and publicly display the village map, accompanied by the property IDs, in a prominent location. This measure aims to allow residents to easily verify if their property is registered under their name. Any objections raised should be promptly addressed. Mr. Chautala also directed to upload such village maps, along with property IDs, on the department's website to facilitate checks by individuals in service or conducting business within the state or abroad. To streamline the process, he directed the formulation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), aiming to simplify the tasks of Deputy Commissioners and other district officers.
The Deputy CM further directed officials to establish a headquarters-level control room to provide assistance to district-level officials involved in the property ID issuance process. He said that the government is going to prepare a system allowing people abroad to address property ID concerns through platforms like WhatsApp or other online resources.
Mr. Dushyant Chautala also provided specific instructions for the transparent distribution of Khevat lands. He also issued guidelines for registries being conducted through SDM and DRO. He urged Deputy Commissioners to conduct regular monthly reviews of these processes.
Financial Commissioner of Revenue Department Mr. TVSN Prasad, Special Secretary Amna Tasneem, OSD to Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Kamlesh Bhadu and other officers were also present in the meeting.
