District Magistrate Sahila presided over a crucial meeting at the collectorate conference hall on Monday, focusing on a detailed assessment of zone-wise revenue collection for the months of December 2025 and January 2026. The session served as a platform to evaluate performance, commend achievements, and address shortcomings in key administrative areas.
Revenue Collection Performance and Rankings
During the review, the DM highlighted the performance of various zones in priority revenue works, which include initiatives such as Abhiyan Basera-2, Parimarjan Plus, mutation processes, land measurement, land revenue collection, and other related tasks. Based on satisfactory outcomes, Chakki Zone secured an impressive 6th rank, while Chaugai and Chausa zones achieved 46th and 52nd positions, respectively. Overall, seven zones were recognized for their satisfactory performance in the rankings.
The DM expressed appreciation for the improved efforts of the circle officers from Chakki, Chaugai, and Chausa, directing that formal commendation letters be issued to acknowledge their contributions. This move aims to motivate officials and foster a culture of excellence in revenue administration.
Accountability Measures for Underperforming Zones
In contrast, the circle officers of Simri, Buxar, Kesath, and Itadhi zones were instructed to submit detailed explanations within 24 hours due to unsatisfactory progress in their respective rankings. The DM emphasized the need for immediate corrective actions and directed officials from these zones to prioritize the identification and verification of government land. They are required to submit comprehensive reports in a prescribed format to facilitate the creation of a land bank, enhancing transparency and efficiency in land management.
Encroachment Removal and Application Disposal
The meeting also addressed the critical issue of encroachments on government land. Officials reported that 16 government lands in Rajpur, nine in Itadhi, five in Chausa, and two in Buxar are currently under encroachment. The DM issued strict instructions to remove these encroachments on a priority basis, underscoring the importance of safeguarding public assets.
Additionally, the DM stressed the timely disposal of all applications received under the Revenue Maha Abhiyan, ensuring that citizen grievances and requests are addressed promptly. This directive aligns with broader efforts to streamline administrative processes and improve service delivery at the district level.
