The Jammu and Kashmir administration has barred three revenue officials from field duties for twelve months after a faulty land demarcation was identified.
The Jammu and Kashmir government has taken disciplinary action against three revenue department officials, prohibiting them from undertaking any field duties for a period of one year. The decision follows the discovery of errors in land demarcation that were attributed to the officials concerned. Authorities said the faulty demarcation could have led to disputes over land ownership and revenue collection.
The officials, who were part of the state's revenue and land records cadre, will remain on the payroll but will be restricted to non‑field responsibilities until the suspension ends. The government has not disclosed the names of the officers or the specific locations where the demarcation errors occurred.
The move underscores the administration's intent to enforce accountability within the revenue machinery and to prevent future irregularities in land records. It also signals a broader effort to strengthen governance in the region's land management system.
