The Bihar revenue and land reforms department has revoked the suspensions of 224 employees who had been protesting since February 11 for better pay and working conditions. Their indefinite strike had severely impacted essential land-related services, including the mutation of land records and preliminary census surveys. The decision, made to ensure the smooth conduct of the 2027 national census, was communicated to district magistrates, instructing them to treat the period of suspension as regular service. Union president Chandrashekhar Chaubey stated that most of their demands have been accepted following negotiations with the government. However, the relief does not apply to 47 circle officers and revenue officers who remain suspended for misconduct. This move is seen as a significant administrative signal from the new chief minister, Samrat Chaudhary, indicating a shift towards resolution and improved public service delivery. With suspensions lifted, revenue offices are expected to resume full operations soon.
