Madhya Pradesh Patwaris Continue SVAMITVA Non-Cooperation Over Executant Role
Patwaris in Madhya Pradesh are refusing to do one part of the SVAMITVA scheme.
They say they should not be the people who officially execute documents for properties on private inhabited land.
Their association says the government has not explained the legal authority for giving them this job.
The Patwaris say they are not against the scheme itself.
They will continue doing other work connected to it.
They want qualified government officers to take on the Executant role instead.
The association says its protest has support from two other employee associations.
The Madhya Pradesh Patwari Association says its non-cooperation with the SVAMITVA scheme will continue until Patwaris are removed from the Executant role.
