SDM Manish Kumar Jha Inspects Amaithi Village to Resolve Land Dispute Delaying Road Construction; Orders Land Demarcation
Benipur (Darbhanga): In a significant step toward resolving the long-pending land dispute that has stalled road construction in Amaithi village under Benipur subdivision of Darbhanga district, Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Manish Kumar Jha visited the site along with concerned officials to assess the situation. During the inspection, he directed the revenue authorities to carry out an early demarcation of the disputed land and take necessary action in accordance with the law.
According to local residents, the delay in road construction has caused severe inconvenience for years. The situation becomes even worse during the monsoon season, making transportation difficult for schoolchildren, farmers, patients, and other villagers.
Land Dispute Becomes the Biggest Obstacle to Road Construction
According to officials, the road project in Amaithi village was approved some time ago. However, after construction work began, certain individuals claimed ownership of a portion of the land, leading to a dispute.
As the disagreement intensified, construction work had to be suspended, leaving the project incomplete and affecting thousands of residents who had been waiting for the road for years.
SDM Conducts On-Site Inspection
Considering the seriousness of the issue, SDM Manish Kumar Jha personally visited the village with officials from the concerned departments. He carefully inspected the proposed alignment of the road, the disputed land, and the surrounding area.
During the visit, he also interacted with villagers, public representatives, and the parties involved in the dispute. Everyone was given an opportunity to present their views so that a fair and lawful solution could be reached.
Revenue Officials Directed to Demarcate the Land
After the inspection, the SDM instructed the revenue administration to carry out an official demarcation of the disputed land at the earliest.
He directed officials to verify land records, revenue maps, and other government documents to establish the exact boundaries. If any encroachment is found after the demarcation, appropriate legal action will be taken and the road construction process will be allowed to proceed.
Villagers Hope for an Early Resolution
The SDM's visit has raised hopes among local residents that the long-standing dispute may finally be resolved.
Villagers said that completion of the road would significantly improve transportation and transform the village's overall development. They urged the administration to complete the demarcation process quickly so that construction work can begin without further delay.
Monsoon Makes the Situation Worse
Residents explained that during the rainy season, the existing earthen road turns muddy and becomes nearly impassable.
In many cases, ambulances cannot reach the village, forcing patients to be carried to the nearest motorable road. Schoolchildren and farmers also face serious difficulties in their daily commute.
A properly constructed road is expected to provide lasting relief from these recurring problems.
Administration Focuses on Accelerating Development
The SDM emphasized that unnecessary delays in development projects would not be tolerated. He instructed officials to resolve the land dispute through legal procedures so that the public could benefit from the project as soon as possible.
He also directed various departments to coordinate closely and ensure timely implementation of the road project.
Revenue Department to Play a Key Role
The land demarcation process will be carried out by revenue officials, including the Circle Officer, revenue employees, and survey personnel.
Using official land records, cadastral maps, and ownership documents, they will determine the exact boundaries of the disputed property.
The administration has assured that the entire process will be transparent and that all concerned parties will be heard in accordance with legal procedures.
Road Expected to Boost Development
Local residents believe the road will bring major economic and social benefits to the village.
Farmers will be able to transport their produce to markets more easily, students will have better access to schools and colleges, and commercial activities are expected to improve. Access to healthcare services, government schemes, and other essential facilities will also become more convenient.
Public Representatives Welcome the Initiative
Local public representatives welcomed the administration's efforts, stating that resolving the long-pending dispute is essential for the overall development of the village.
They expressed confidence that the administration would conduct a fair process and ensure that construction work begins soon.
Solution to Be Based on Legal Procedures
The SDM clarified that the dispute would be resolved strictly in accordance with the law and government regulations. He assured all parties that no injustice would be done and that due legal procedures would be followed throughout the process.
He also appealed to villagers to cooperate with the administration and maintain peace during the proceedings.
The administration's initiative to resolve the land dispute affecting road construction in Amaithi village has brought renewed hope to local residents. SDM Manish Kumar Jha's site inspection and directions for immediate land demarcation are being seen as significant steps toward resolving the issue. If the demarcation process is completed on time, the long-delayed road project is expected to resume soon, improving transportation and accelerating the village's economic, social, and educational development.
