A camp was organised by revenue department at Gharuan near here to solve pending cases of people pertaining to revenue matters.

Mohali Deputy Commissioner Varun Roojam called upon people to make the most out of such camps that provide solution to all pending issues under one roof.

Gharuan has eleven patwar circles and 36 villages. The camp was held at Government Model Senior Secondary School, Gharuan.

Roojam said such camps would be held at all “kanugo”-levels so that people need not run from pillar to post to get their work done.

He said patwaris had been directed to bring land records of respective areas with them during the camps. On the post, around 98 land mutation cases were entered as sanctioned, 36 copies of land records were handed over and two cases of correction of land mutation were given.Also, two applications for land demarcation were accepted.

The DC also visited spots where water had accumulated in the periphery of Gharuan village and saw the blocked open drain damaging the roads.

He directed the officials concerned to carry out such works on priority basis. MLA Morinda Uajagar Singh Badali said such camps were helpful in clearing backlogs and maintaining transparency in the system.

SDM Kharar Rajiv Gupta, tehsildar Rajesh Dhiman, naib-tehsildar Rajpal Singh and patwaris of all circles were present.

He took his mother to Kalka CHC, but long queue of vehicles from Housing Board, Kalka, to Gandhi Chowk, Kalka, wasted their “golden hour” in reaching Kalka CHC and the condition of his mother got deteriorated. Though the police helped them out of the traffic, when he reached Kalka hospital, doctors declared his mother brought dead.

Notably, traffic jams in Pinjore and Kalka have already claimed several lives in the past couple of years.
