The Chhattisgarh government has ordered a crackdown on patwaris who went on strike, suspending them in several districts and halting their duties.
The state administration in Chhattisgarh announced a decisive action against revenue officials who had staged a strike. Patwaris, the village-level land record officers, were taken off duty and suspended in a number of districts as part of a broader crackdown.
Officials said the move aims to restore normal functioning of land and revenue services, which were disrupted by the strike. The suspension applies to those who participated in the protest, and their service records have been temporarily halted pending further inquiry.
The government has not released the exact count of affected districts or personnel, but the directive underscores the administration's intolerance for work stoppages in essential public services.
Authorities have urged other staff to resume duties and warned that any further disruption could attract similar disciplinary measures.
The development is being closely watched by local bodies and civil society groups concerned about the impact on land record management and citizen services.
