Especially seven important works like nomination and caste certificate done by patwaris will not be done. President of Madhya Pradesh Patwaris Sangh Upendra Singh said, Patwaris across the State are depositing their bags in Tehsil offices. After this the pen down strike has started. Bhopal District President Sandeep Sharma told that all the Patwaris of the district are depositing their bags. For almost 25 years, they have been demanding grade-pay and promotion, but till now the government has not even paid attention.

Collectors in the districts of the State including Bhopal have made alternative arrangements to ensure that the work is not affected due to the Patwaris going on strike.

 

Revenue Inspector has been entrusted with the work of Patwaris. Despite this, the work will be affected, because the revenue inspectors already have a lot of work. Due to the Patwaris going on strike, the work of renaming, EWS certificate, caste certificate, election work, crop girdawari, PM-CM payment and making panchnama at the scene with the police are being affected. Patwaris of Madhya Pradesh are doing phased agitation. In the first phase, from August 21, all had left the government group and boycotted online work.
