Assam’s Lat Mandals Resist Transfers, Plan to Seek Legal Action
In a recent shake-up, Dhubri District Commissioner Dibakar Nath has enforced a massive administrative overhaul, transferring 28 Lat Mandals to various revenue circles across the district. However, sources indicate that the affected officials are plotting to challenge the decision by seeking legal intervention.
What’s Behind the Moves
The transfers appear to be linked to the ineffectiveness of the Basundhara 3.0 land reform initiative, launched to enhance efficiency and accountability in land-related services. This ambitious project, initiated in 2019 (Order No. DRS-32/2019/46), aimed to streamline land governance in the state.
Who’s Affected?
The recently transferred Lat Mandals belong to the following revenue circles:
- Dhubri Circle
- Gauripur Circle
- Atani Circle
- Golakganj Circle
- Bilasipara Circle
- South Salmara Circle
Resistance Builds Up
The move has triggered widespread criticism, with the transferred officials reportedly working towards obtaining a stay order from higher authorities. This development has piqued public interest, leaving many wondering if the transfers will be upheld or overturned.
Challenges Ahead
The situation underscores the difficulties in implementing administrative reforms within the revenue department. Resistance from within, coupled with the complexities of land governance in Assam, will likely make it a tough road ahead.
What’s Next?
As the legal challenges unfold, it’s unclear what the future holds for the affected Lat Mandals. Will they be successful in their bid to stay the transfer, or will the new administration proceed with its plans? Only time will tell.
