However, possession warrants for 6,657 acres of panchayat land across the state had been issued, but no action had been taken by the field officers. He directed the district officials to address these pending warrants.

On the issue of follow-up on pending cases in higher courts, Bhullar directed the senior field officers to attend court hearings.
