Baramulla, Oct 22, KNT: The Baramulla administration has warned Patwaris against remaining unavailable during official working hours, directing revenue officials in Baramulla and Narwav tehsils to ensure their presence in offices to facilitate public service delivery.

The directions were issued by the concerned Tehsildar on the instructions of the Deputy Commissioner, following complaints that residents were facing difficulties in accessing revenue officials.
Patwaris play a key role in maintaining land records and providing revenue-related services, including documents and verification required by residents for various administrative purposes.
The administration has cautioned that any laxity in implementing the directions would be viewed seriously. The move is intended to ensure that people visiting revenue offices can access the officials responsible for handling their cases. [KNT]
