Government to provide 10 hours of electricity to farmers and resolve re-survey issues

The State Government has taken a significant decision to provide 10 hours of electricity to farmers and to ensure the speedy resolution of issues arising during the land re-survey. According to a report by Sandesh, a meeting was held on 5 November under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, which was attended by the district president of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, ministers, and district officials.

In this meeting, a demand was made to provide 10 hours of continuous electricity every day for three months for irrigation purposes for the upcoming Rabi season, to which the government gave a positive response. Additionally, to remove difficulties related to the land re-survey, an assurance was given to issue special circulars so that justice can be obtained at the local level itself.

The government will soon take a policy decision and prepare an action plan to expedite the disposal of land re-survey applications pending since the year 2017. To resolve local issues on the spot, review meetings will be held every month in coordination with the taluka presidents, ministers, and district officials of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh. If any issue is not resolved at the district level, arrangements will be made to present it before the Chief Minister.

Bhupendrabhai Rajnikant Patel has been serving as the 17th Chief Minister of Gujarat since September 2021. He is the Leader of the House in the Assembly and has been representing the Ghatlodia Assembly constituency since 2017. He is a member of the BJP and began his political career by working in the municipal bodies of Ahmedabad.
