He also directed all Mandal Tahsildars to make mandatory field visits. The joint collector said that Collector P Prasanthi is specifically monitoring the performance of revenue officials in the field. He said that state-level officials are holding collectors and joint collectors accountable through video and teleconferences, as the performance of ground-level officials directly impacts the district’s development.
He reminded officials that they should not be negligent in implementing government schemes, resolving grievances, and maintaining revenue records. He also stressed the importance of completing water tax collections, conducting field verification of housing plots allotted to the poor and uploading the details to the app, and mandatorily inspecting ration shops.
District Revenue Officer T Sitarama Murthy, Survey Officer B Lakshminarayana, RDOs, tahsildars, deputy tahsildars, and Collectorate officials participated in this meeting.
