CM flying squad inspects Panipat patwarkhana, 1,585 inteqals found pending

Following a tipoff about delay in people’s work by patwaris in Panipat, the team of Chief Minister flying squad, Karnal, carried out a surprise inspection at the patwarkhana of Tehsil Camp on Wednesday.

The team found over 1,585 inteqals pending for more than 10 days and private persons were also found working in the patwarkhana during the inspection. During the inspection, the team found a private person Praveen, alias Monu, working with Ravi Patwari while Sachin was found working with Salender Patwari.

As per sources, some people in the Patwarkhana also told the team that these private persons played a key role in setting up money for register inteqal and wills. Patwari kept troubling the common people and took arbitrary time to do the work, due to which the people were forced to make rounds of their offices several times. Sunehra Singh of Vikas Nagar told the CM flying squad team that his inteqal was not registered since April 8, 2024.

The team also found several old registry intequals’ applications pending with the Patwari without any diary number and dates. It was also found that Patwari deposited the revenue fee late in the government treasury, No bio-metric or CCTV cameras were installed in the patwarkhana, the building of the patwarkhana is very old and in a condemnable state.

The Panipat city has a big area that’s why it is needed to revise the circle bound area of the city as it has a big population, the team recommended.
