Land Records and Survey office inaugurated in Kiphire
Parliamentary Secretary for Land Revenue, Village Guards & Women Resources Development L. Khumo today inaugurated the Land Records and Survey office in Kiphire.
Khumo expressed concern that in Nagaland government lands are vanishing at a very fast rate and becoming personal land, which he said is unethical. “If government land is lost then where will development activities take place,” he questioned and appealed to the gathering to come forward and help the department and the district administration to protect government land.
He also assured that though the department has less manpower in the district as of now, it will do its best to carry out the duties in collaboration with the district administration to protect government land. “Not an inch of government land should go to individual,” he warned.
The Parliamentary Secretary further stated that the department though is in an initial stage in the district today, it will always grow and it is up to the people of the district to nurture it so that it gives its best service to the citizens. He urged citizens to extend full co-operation to the departmental officers and staffs posted in the district.
Reminding that government and staff may come and go but the office and the department will never go, Khumo asked the citizens to be guardian of the institution.
He also appealed to the officers and leaders to serve the people with integrity. “When you are in power try to do good so that even if you are out of the service you will be able to look back and enjoy the things you have done and also live with clean and clear conscious.”
Chubasangla Anar, IAS, Secretary, Land Revenue department, who chaired the programme, assured that the objective of the department is to serve the need of the people in the district. He asked the staffs to be sincere in their duties.
Er EN Kithan, Director, Land Records & Survey Nagaland, who also spoke on the occasion, said the department will send more manpower in the future and expressed gratitude to the Parliamentary Secretary for taking personal initiative to establish the office in the district.
Phenrongwi Zeliang, LRSO, proposed vote of thanks.
The inaugural programme was also attended by Deputy Commissioner, Kiphire, officers and civil societies in the district.
