Around 5,000 Patwaris Begin Strike Across Chhattisgarh

Around 5,000 patwaris, the government officials responsible for land records and revenue collection, have launched a strike in Chhattisgarh, according to a report by The Economic Times. The walk‑out is affecting the normal functioning of revenue offices across the state, with routine services such as land registration, mutation and tax collection temporarily suspended.
The disruption is expected to inconvenience landowners, farmers and businesses that rely on timely documentation for transactions and legal compliance. Citizens have reported delays in obtaining certificates and updating property records.
State authorities have been contacted for clarification, but no official statement on the demands or duration of the strike has been released as of now. The situation remains under observation as officials assess the impact on public services.
