Igatpuri Tehsildar Skips Headquarters, Official Residence Abandoned for Years
In a place called Igatpuri, there is an important government helper called the Tehsildar who helps people with land papers and other official work.
The rules say the Tehsildar must live in the town where he works.
But the Tehsildar does not live there.
The special government house built for the Tehsildar has been empty and broken for more than ten years.
Grass and wild bushes have grown all around it.
People who need help must wait for many hours to see the Tehsildar.
Some travel from faraway villages and small settlements just for small tasks.
The people are not happy and are asking the government to take action.
They want the house to be fixed and officers to live where they are supposed to.
Everyone is now waiting to see what the District Collector and the government will do.
The Igatpuri Tehsildar, the taluka's chief administrative officer, is not residing at the designated headquarters.
The government-built official residence has been locked and dilapidated for the past ten to twelve years.
Government regulations require Class-I officers, including Tehsildars, to reside at the taluka headquarters for emergencies.
Many Tehsildars reportedly commute from Nashik or other locations, forcing citizens to wait hours to meet them.
Citizens, farmers' organisations, and activists demand action against non-resident officials and renovation of the neglected quarters.
