The disease is old, but good medicine has now started to treat it, and it will take time to recover. All levels of revenue headquarters staff are also engaged in investigating and managing the disease. The disease will certainly be cured, with a target set for improvement by March.

This campaign, which started in Patna on December 12, has been implemented in Lakhisarai, Muzaffarpur, Purnia, Saharsa, Bhagalpur, and Gaya, and is now being implemented in Darbhanga as well. The Deputy Chief Minister said that CSC centers have been set up in every zonal office, where trained operators are providing online services at fixed rates.

Registration of mutation without objection has been fixed within 14 days (previously 35 days). Police intervention in land disputes has been banned.

Strict action will be taken against those who violate the order.

He said that Operation Land Introduction Dehani has been launched for SC-ST certificate holders. A campaign is being run to ensure that certificate holders have actual possession of their land.
