Digvijaya Singh urges MP CM to clear farmers’ mortgage entries
Digvijaya Singh wrote to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav about farmers’ land records.
Some farmers borrowed money from the Bhumi Vikas Bank using their land as security.
The bank has closed and is under liquidation.
Some farmers have repaid their loans or completed settlement payments.
However, their land records still show a mortgage.
This can make it difficult to sell land or change its ownership records.
Singh wants government officials to check which farmers are eligible.
He also wants the records and the MP Bhulekh portal corrected.
Digvijaya Singh asked Chief Minister Mohan Yadav to remove mortgage entries from eligible farmers’ land records.
The entries concern loans from the now-closed Madhya Pradesh Rajya Sahakari Krishi Evam Gramin Vikas Bank.
Some farmers reportedly cleared their loans or paid settlement amounts, but their land still appears mortgaged.
The outdated entries are hindering land sales, mutations, property partitions and other transactions.
Singh urged the Cooperative and Revenue departments to verify cases and update records on the MP Bhulekh portal.
