Tamil Nadu revenue officers plan April 7 demonstrations

Members of the Tamil Nadu Revenue Officers Association (TNROA) plan to stage demonstrations at district headquarters on April 7. They want the government to meet their long-standing demands. The announcement followed a meeting in Erode on March 22, attended by key officials, including State president M.P. Murugaiyan. The association is pressing for improvements in staffing, especially in the Disaster Management Department. Two years ago, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin agreed to essential staffing changes that have not yet been implemented. Currently, the revenue department is overwhelmed with applications for various certificates due to a shortage of staff. The TNROA is requesting more personnel, particularly deputy tahsildars, to help process these applications. They are also calling for at least 20 deputy tahsildars to be assigned for land acquisition tasks by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The association emphasizes the need for action on the agreements made by the Chief Minister. They plan to hold additional demonstrations on April 25, along with the Federation of Revenue Associations (FERA), to draw further attention to their demands.
