Ratlam District Collector Ajay Katesaria immediately dismissed the services of four probationary patwaris working in Ratlam Rural Tehsil. The officials affected are Ankit Gupta, Shailendra Pratap Rathore, Saurabh Purohit, and Yashwardhan Sharma. The move came after an assessment of their performance during their probation period, which encompassed their progress on the Swamitva Yojana, the completion of assigned duties, and adherence to directives from senior officers.
The Revenue Department is currently running a time-bound campaign to execute and register ownership rights records under the Swamitva Yojana. Patwaris play a crucial role in beneficiary verification, processing applications, updating records, and fulfilling assigned tasks within specified deadlines. During the evaluation, it was determined that the probationary patwaris had not met the anticipated progress or adequately fulfilled their duties.
Their termination was in line with probationary rules and appointment conditions. The tehsildar of Ratlam Rural Tehsil has been instructed to take immediate charge of government records and responsibilities. The Madhya Pradesh Patwari Association has escalated its protest following the terminations. Patwaris across the state, including in Ratlam, have halted online revenue work and logged out of government WhatsApp groups at the association's request.
Ratlam District Patwari Association president Gopal Rawat stated that while the association does not oppose the Swamitva Yojana, it objects to patwaris executing the scheme. The association raised concerns over inaccuracies in Swamitva records, such as errors in names, property sizes, and boundaries, as well as houses being registered under multiple names and missing property maps.
The association demanded the reversal of the four terminations in Ratlam and suspensions in other districts. Rawat warned that if these actions are not withdrawn, patwaris would boycott all work and initiate an indefinite strike starting from Thursday.
