Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Revenue and Land Reforms, Vijay Kumar Sinha, has launched a strong campaign against corruption and the land mafia within the department. Sinha emphasized his unwavering commitment to tackling these issues without succumbing to any pressure or threats. He expressed his determination to combat corruption and illegal land practices, drawing inspiration from his past electoral victories against criminal elements in his constituency.
Sinha highlighted his resolve to confront the land mafia, middlemen, and corrupt officials deeply rooted in the revenue system. Emphasizing his adherence to the principles of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Sinha vowed to prevent illicit activities by these groups. He warned that any departmental officer or employee impeding action against the land mafia would face consequences, while assuring that honest officers working in the public’s interest would not encounter any obstacles.
During a Land Reform Public Dialogue Program, Sinha hinted at potential suspensions for errant Circle Officers (COs) and other officials if found guilty of misconduct. He stressed that any disciplinary actions would be based on concrete evidence and that no irregularities would be tolerated within the land and revenue department. Sinha’s overarching goal is to implement transparent, efficient, and citizen-friendly land reforms, with a focus on resolving land-related grievances promptly through direct engagement with the public.
In an effort to educate citizens on land rights, address pending land disputes, and offer immediate solutions where feasible, Sinha will conduct a Land Reform Public Dialogue Program in Darbhanga within the Mithilanchal region. His proactive approach has garnered significant support and enthusiasm from residents and stakeholders involved in land matters throughout Bihar.
