Join office or face music: Minister to revenue officials

Punjab Revenue Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian has issued a stern directive to 56 tehsildars and 166 naib tehsildars, recently transferred on April 21, to report to their new postings immediately or face strict disciplinary action.

Expressing concern over the failure of many officials to assume their new roles, Mundian called the delay a gross negligence. He announced that he, along with the Financial Commissioner (Revenue), will inspect the offices of tehsildars and naib tehsildars on Wednesday (April 23) to verify compliance to the order. Absenteeism or failure to join duties will result in swift action, he warned.

Mundian clarified that the transfers were part of ongoing reforms in the Revenue Department, aimed at enhancing efficiency and transparency. He emphasised the Punjab Government’s zero-tolerance policy towards corruption and public inconvenience, underscoring the CM’s commitment to delivering responsive and accountable governance.
