Officers of the Bihar Revenue Service Association ended their strike on Thursday after the Bihar state government assured them of sympathetic consideration regarding their demands. The indefinite strike, which began on March 9, was initiated due to grievances over the state cabinet's decision on January 29 to create a new post of sub-divisional revenue officer, which the officers argued would dilute their promotional prospects and autonomy. Secretary Jai Singh noted that essential services, such as land record corrections and dispute settlements, were disrupted during the strike. The government has promised a positive approach to the officers' concerns and has instructed them to return to their postings by Monday, warning that administrative action may follow for non-compliance. Additionally, a special monitoring mechanism will be established to ensure timely resolution of pending cases, emphasizing the department's commitment to serving the public efficiently.
