Srinagar, Feb 12 (Only Kashmir): The Patwaris and revenue officials have been repository of land and revenue records since the times of empires, however, Patwari Transfer policy unfortunately in Kashmir especially in Srinagar District is hit hard by ineffective approach thus putting masses into great hardships.
At micro and macro levels masses are dismayed with the function of revenue department in the Kashmir region especially Srinagar District transfer policy.
It is worth pointing out here that the Patwaris who were delivering their duties in different parts of capital city Srinagar, some of them were called back to the parents districts. While as it is not abnormal but what is weird is that many Patwaris have been given additional charges to fill the vacuum which is causing masses hardships and the said revenue official due to it is not able to dedicate the time they need .
Reliable sources have revealed that on ground zero quite inept transfer policy is being followed with reference especially to Patwaris.
Scores of Patwaris are serving in same Tehsil for even six to 7 years or more, it is further learnt that even if the transfer occurs it is a pick and choose by Patwaris to exchange mere areas who are buddies and transfer policy is dictated by land brokers .
The DC office which is the main direction point for Patwaris needs to look keenly at framing an effective and efficient transfer policy which is not dictated by blue eyed preferences but a policy that makes Patwaris accountable and more proactive.
Sane voices looking keenly at revenue related things believe that framing a dynamic transfer policy would go long way in killing nepotism and corrupt tendencies among Patwaris.
It is further revealed that there is also need to send more Patwaris at Ground rather than retaining them unnecessarily like sitting ducks in respective offices where they don’t learn much.
Administration has not been able to get maximum of the breathers and reforms made in transfer policy especially when it comes to making upto mark Patwari Transfer policy serving needs of people.
The transfer policy that gets implemented in core part of every financial year is deemed by expert voices that in year 2021 it revolutionizes entire revenue system of Kashmir especially Patwari transfers in Srinagar District.
