Several Legislators today raised pressing public issues in the House, highlighting hardships faced by the people across different constituencies, urging the government to take immediate remedial measures.
MLA Gurez, Nazir Ahmad Khan informed the House that no Patwari is available in the field or at the Patwar Khana in his constituency, causing severe inconvenience to the people. He said residents are facing difficulties in obtaining essential documents like Fard, income certificates and other revenue-related reports required for daily life needs. The MLA further pointed out that more than 50 percent of the population of Gurez migrates during the winter season. In view of this, he urged the government to direct the concerned Deputy Commissioner to postpone the digitization of revenue records until the end of April this year.
