The Assam State Revenue department has made a critical decision to close 36 Revenue Circle across the state. The department has already told the affected offices to have their staff move to other revenue circles within the same district.
The list of revenue circle offices set to close includes several districts. According to reports, the Sarupeta revenue circle office in Bajali district, Assam will be closed as part of department’s decision. The government has also ordered the closure of the Baghbar and Sarthebari revenue circle offices in Barpeta district.
The other revenue circle offices, which going to be close include, Dangtol and Manikpur in Bongaigaon district, Halem in Biswanath district, Sapekhati in Charaideo district, Pathorighat and Pub Mangaldai in Darrang district, Gogamukh in Dhemaji district, and Agomoni and Chapar in Dhubri district.
The decision extends to Dibrugarh (West), Rongjuli in Goalpara, Khumtai in Golaghat, Algapur and Lala in Hailakandi, and West Jorhat. In Kamrup Metropolitan district, Chandrapur will not have any revenue circle office.
The other include, North Guwahati, Kayan, Chaygaon, Nagarbera, and Chamaria in Kamrup district; Badarpur in Karimganj district; Kadam and Subansiri in Lakhimpur district; Ujani Majuli in Majuli district; Mikirbheta and Bhuragaon in Morigaon district; Pachim Nalbari, Ghagrapar, Barbhag, and Banekuchi in Nalbari district; Amguri in Sivasagar; and South Salmara in South Salmara-Mankachar district.
The recent announcement to close these revenue offices has sparked strong reactions among residents.
Many people are concerned that the closures will create significant inconvenience and disrupt local administrative services. That will make difficulties for further. Like, residents may need to travel long distances to access services that used to be conveniently located.
