Surguja administration cracks down on 819 striking Patwaris with show cause notices

The Surguja administration has taken a <b>strict stance</b> against 819 Patwaris currently on strike across 6 districts. Divisional Commissioner Narendra Dugga has ordered all employees to return to work immediately or face <b>disciplinary action</b>. Each striking official has been issued a show-cause notice, demanding a personal written explanation for their absence from duty. This administrative standoff highlights the recurring failure of the system to resolve internal grievances, leaving essential land and revenue services in a state of <b>complete paralysis</b>. When government services stop, the common citizen suffers the most, as their land records, income certificates, and daily administrative needs remain stuck in bureaucratic limbo.
