Mumbai,

11 Mar (HS): Maharashtra’s Revenue Department has appointed 200 private licence

holder land surveyors to expedite the survey work. They will start functioning

from March 30, 2026.

Revenue

Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule said that the survey was being delayed due to

inadequate staff with the government department. Now the survey will be

completed within 15 to 30 days. The private surveyors will be imparted two-week’s

training before they start actual work.

The

issue was raised by former minister Jayant Patil.

In

the first phase a pilot project will be implemented in 17/18 tehsils, where the

cases are pending for the major period. The appointment of surveyors will

resolve the problems relating to sale and purchase transaction and also

disputes relating to bifurcation of lands.
