In a major push to streamline revenue administration and address public grievances, the Haryana government has rolled out a statewide, time-bound campaign named 'Jalsa-E-Aam'. The initiative aims to clear a massive backlog of pending land mutation cases while accelerating broader digital reforms in the revenue department.
Jalsa-E-Aam: A Saturday Mission for Mutation Clearance
The campaign will be conducted on four consecutive Saturdays: January 10, 17, 24, and 31. Financial Commissioner Dr. Sumita Misra, who reviewed and announced the measures during a high-level video conference with Deputy Commissioners, directed officials to give the campaign wide publicity to ensure maximum public participation.
The state is currently processing a staggering 189,635 mutation applications across 143 tehsils and 7,104 villages. Deputy Commissioners have been instructed to prioritize 50,794 cases that have been pending for over ten days. Special focus will be on districts like Faridabad, Palwal, and Ambala. Clearing this backlog is a critical step towards the state's goal of implementing auto-mutation to ease public inconvenience.
Digital Push and Land Partition Drive
Simultaneously, the government is fast-tracking digital transformation in revenue matters. Dr. Misra revealed that Haryana has already digitized over 60 lakh land records. Since the launch of the paperless registration system, 83,379 property deeds have been registered using this mode. Out of 117,931 deeds processed, 90,711 were approved, reflecting a healthy approval rate of 76.9%.
To tackle long-pending land partition cases, strict enforcement of the substituted Section 111A of the Punjab Land Revenue Act has been ordered. For accelerated disposal, each Assistant Collector (Second Grade) must now dispose of a minimum of 12 partition cases per month. Tehsildars with lighter workloads have been given a higher target of 20 cases per month.
Inter-State Boundary Work and Cold-Wave Prep
The review meeting also covered progress on inter-state boundary demarcation. On the Haryana-Uttar Pradesh border, 535 out of 1,221 boundary pillars have been erected so far. Sonipat district leads with 74.6% completion, followed by Palwal and Karnal. The remaining work has been directed to be completed by February 18, 2026.
Furthermore, the government is focusing on comprehensive cold-wave preparedness measures to protect citizens during the winter season. The multi-pronged approach of the 'Jalsa-E-Aam' campaign underscores Haryana's commitment to resolving long-standing public issues and modernizing its governance infrastructure.
