Panipat, September 19

Dissatisfied with the special girdawari under the ‘Meri Fasal Mera Byora’ scheme, the Sonepat Deputy Commissioner on Saturday suspended patwari Naveen Kumar and affixed his headquarters at the district revenue officer’s (DRO) office.

The DC, along with his teams, personally verified the girdawari of the crops in the villages of Gohana subdivision area.

The patwaris have conducted a ‘khasra’ girdawari of the crops in the fields under ‘Meri Fasal Mera Byora’ scheme. The patwaris have submitted their girdawari reports. The district administration has begun an inquiry into the girdawaris conducted by the patwaris.

DC Poonia constituted three teams and included himself in a team on Saturday. He chose three villages to re-check the girdawaris in Baroda Mor, Jasrana and Mahmoodpur villages of Gohana subdivision of the district.

DC Poonia, along with DRO Rajkumar and the patwari, visited Baroda Mor village to verify the girdawari and moved around 5 km on foot to check the crops in the fields.

The DC matched the crops with the record at Meri Fasal Mera Byora, A-girdawari and HARSAC. He found several anomalies in the girdawari conducted by the patwari and pulled up the patwari.

Dissatisfied with the patwari’s report, the DC ordered to suspend patwari Naveen Kumar with immediate effect.
