C.  DISTRICT/ SUB-DIVISIONAL OFFICES

The District and Sub-Divisional Offices were set-up in the past to cope with the sudden influx of refugee from East Bengal (erstwhile East Pakistan, now Bangladesh). Naturally, there were many loose ends in both. However, with the passage of time, endeavours were made to place the District and Sub divisional level set ups on a firm basis consistent with the present requirements coupled with clear principles and rules of procedure for the guidance of all concerned. The Government Orders, particularly since the 1980s, have been issued towards that end.

Nature of work:

Regularisation and rehabilitation of displaced persons both in G.S. Colonies and Squatters' colonies, acquisition of land, transfer of land, transfer of land, payment of compensation, taking permissive possession of land, execution and registration of FHTD, issue of loan remission certificate, execution of deed of reconveyance, release of mortgaged deed in favour of mortgagee, or legal heirs/successor of the mortgagee, authentication of maps, lay-out survey, CONRIT survey, issue of site-plan to individual plot holders, approval of site plan etc. monitoring the progress of works and all other matters relating to refugee rehabilitation.
