Haryana Launches ‘Jalsa-e-Aam’ Drive to Clear Pending Mutations, Push Digital Revenue Reforms

Chandigarh, January 8: In a major step towards strengthening public service delivery and citizen-centric governance, the Haryana government has launched a time-bound, statewide campaign titled ‘Jalsa-e-Aam’ to dispose of all pending mutation cases. The initiative will also accelerate the implementation of Agristack, digital revenue reforms, settlement of land partition cases, inter-state boundary demarcation, and preparedness for the ongoing cold wave.
The measures were reviewed and announced by Financial Commissioner, Revenue and Disaster Management, Dr Sumita Misra, during a high-level meeting with deputy commissioners held via video conferencing.
Under the campaign, ‘Jalsa-e-Aam’ will be organised on Saturdays in January — January 10, 17, 24 and 31 — to ensure time-bound disposal of mutation cases. Dr Misra directed district administrations to widely publicise the campaign to maximise public participation. At present, 1,89,635 mutation applications are pending across 143 tehsils and 7,104 villages in the state. Of these, 50,794 cases pending for more than 10 days have been identified for priority disposal, with special focus on Faridabad, Palwal and Ambala districts. The government aims to move towards auto-mutation, for which clearing the existing backlog is essential.
Emphasising the need to fast-track long-pending land partition cases, Dr Misra directed strict compliance with the substituted Section 111A of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, which provides for expedited disposal. Each Assistant Collector (Second Grade) has been assigned a target of disposing of at least 12 partition cases per month, while tehsildars with a lower workload have been tasked with resolving a minimum of 20 cases monthly.
To strengthen accountability, a three-tier monitoring mechanism has been put in place with monthly reviews at the district, divisional and state levels. Dr Misra also ordered the introduction of an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism, under which retired revenue officers will be engaged on a contractual basis to resolve disputes through consensus at village-level camps. An honorarium of ₹10,000 per successfully resolved case has been approved, to be shared equally by the disputing parties. Deputy commissioners have been instructed to empanel retired revenue officers and organise ADR camps in villages with a high pendency of revenue cases.
Reviewing progress on digital transformation in revenue administration, Dr Misra said over 60 lakh land records in Haryana have already been digitised. Since the launch of the paperless registration system, 83,379 property deeds have been registered digitally. Of the total 1,17,931 deeds submitted, 90,711 have been approved, reflecting an approval rate of 76.9 per cent. She directed that registration cases returned more than twice should be automatically escalated to senior officers for time-bound resolution.
On tatima digitisation, she informed that as of January 5, 2026, around 60.43 lakh tatima records have been completed across 6,351 geo-referenced villages. Mahendragarh district has achieved 99.7 per cent completion, while Bhiwani and Jind have completed 3.82 lakh and 4.28 lakh records respectively. Remaining districts have been directed to complete the work by January 31, 2026.
Under Agristack, data buckets for over 98 lakh farmers have been created, with 5.12 lakh enrolments completed so far. Dr Misra directed that PPP-ID and Aadhaar seeding of landowners be carried out simultaneously at Agristack camps and completed within a month, with priority given to PM-Kisan beneficiaries through SMS alerts issued by the agriculture department. She also instructed officials from the agriculture, revenue and CRID departments to work on a common platform at field-level camps to ensure seamless Aadhaar-PPP seeding and updating of revenue records.
On inter-state boundary demarcation, Dr Misra said 535 of the 1,221 boundary pillars along the Haryana–Uttar Pradesh border have been installed so far. Sonipat has achieved 74.6 per cent completion, followed by Palwal and Karnal. The remaining work is to be completed by February 18, 2026.
Addressing cold wave preparedness, Dr Misra said a Cold Wave Action Plan has been implemented in line with IMD guidelines. District-level emergency response teams equipped with medical supplies and warm clothing have been activated to respond within 24 hours. She appealed to citizens to look out for vulnerable neighbours, including elderly persons living alone, pregnant women and families with young children. Community centres, gram panchayats and resident welfare associations have been urged to organise awareness camps on early symptoms of hypothermia and frostbite. Citizens were advised to report any person in distress due to extreme cold to emergency helpline 112.
