UP govt recovered 64,000 acres from land mafia since 2017: CM
Bahraich : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday highlighted that his government has resolved 33 lakh pending revenue-related cases in Uttar Pradesh since 2017, bringing relief to thousands of citizens.
Speaking at the inauguration of the new tehsil building in Mihipurwa , he emphasized the importance of an efficient administrative system in ensuring justice and transparency in land-related matters.
Adityanath noted that before 2017, Uttar Pradesh had over 33 lakh unresolved revenue disputes, including cases of land mutation, demarcation, and usage rights.
"Such a backlog led to frequent disputes, violence, and illegal land grabbing, making life difficult for common citizens," he said.
"Previous governments allowed corruption and dishonesty to thrive, leaving the poor without hope for justice. However, we set strict timelines for resolving cases at all administrative levels, from sub-divisional magistrates to tehsildars and revenue officers, ensuring accountability."
The chief minister further stated that the government's crackdown on land mafia through the Anti-Land Mafia Task Force has resulted in the recovery of 64,000 acres of illegally occupied land.
He also pointed out that with improved law and order, Uttar Pradesh has become a major destination for investment.
Adityanath stressed that village-level governance has been strengthened through the establishment of Gram Sachivalayas with internet connectivity.
