Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh - The registration of land owned by villagers under the SVAMITVA scheme faces a new obstacle. The director of the Panchayat Raj has written to the revenue department, urging officials to obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) from village Panchayats before proceeding with registration. This requirement, while intended to benefit Panchayats, could cause significant delays.
The letter was based on a directive from the State Panchayat Parishad. The department argues that taking NOC will increase Panchayat revenue through property tax recovery. However, the Patwaris initially refused to register the land, causing the work to miss the government-imposed deadline. If the revenue department enforces the NOC provision, the registration process may face further delays.
