The Revenue and Land Reforms Department suspended 41 Circle Officers (CO) and Revenue Officers (RO). These officers had stayed on strike for over a month. Officials said the protest disrupted many government services.

Authorities said the officers took mass leave and stopped regular work. This affected land-related services and other administrative tasks. The government asked them to return to duty earlier, but many continued the protest.

Earlier, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha warned that strict action would follow. He said the government would not tolerate disruption in public services.

The suspension order came as Samrat Choudhary prepares to lead the new government in Bihar.

The Bihar BJP CM decision now rests with the BJP leadership. Party leaders must select a legislative party leader in the state assembly. The alliance usually chooses the chief minister from that position.

At present, Samrat Choudhary serves as the BJP legislative party leader and deputy chief minister. His role makes him a strong contender for the chief minister’s post.

Another deputy chief minister, Vijay Kumar Sinha, also remains in discussion. However, Samrat Choudhary holds a higher position in the party structure.

The BJP leadership may also consider other senior leaders. In that case, the party could first elect a new legislative party leader. NDA MLAs would then support that leader as chief minister.

Political observers believe Samrat Choudhary currently leads the race for the top post in Bihar.

The Bihar Unexplored Land Survey aims to locate land that has not been properly recorded or surveyed in official records. Officials will also review “bakast” land and other plots that lack clear documentation. The government plans to understand the status and nature of these lands through the survey.

A high-level departmental meeting is scheduled to review the progress of the survey and discuss the data collected from districts. The state government believes the initiative will improve transparency in land records and reduce disputes related to property ownership.

Authorities say the survey will help bring clarity to Bihar’s land records and strengthen the state’s revenue administration system.

Many revenue officials earlier kept applications pending. They often claimed that a case was in court without proper proof. This created delays and trouble for property owners.

The government has now defined the terms “competent court” and “pending case.” These rules aim to make land mutation in Bihar faster and more transparent.

Competent courts include civil courts, the High Court, the Supreme Court, and approved tribunals. A case counts as pending only after a court accepts it and issues notices or a stay order.

Officials must process mutation requests if no such court order exists. The new rules aim to reduce delays and help property buyers complete legal work quickly.

The Revenue and Land Reforms Department declared the mass leave illegal. The government warned that strict action will follow if officers fail to resume work by the deadline. Possible steps include salary cuts, service break, and disciplinary action.

Officials who return on time may get relief, as the government may adjust their leave sympathetically.

Sinha said officers should end the Bihar CO RO Strike within a day. If they return to duty in time, the government will avoid strict action.

The strike started on 9 March. It is led by the Bihar Revenue Service Joint Federation. Officers are demanding quick posting of those promoted to the Deputy Collector of Land Reforms (DCLR) posts.

The government has urged officers to resolve the issue soon and resume work so public services do not suffer.

The Bihar Circle Officers Strike continued for the third day on Wednesday. Because of the protest, work stopped in many circle offices across Bihar. Services related to land records, certificates, and other public services have been affected. Many people visiting offices for land-related work faced delays.

The department has directed divisional commissioners and district magistrates to send attendance reports of officers working under the Bihar Revenue Service. Authorities want details of officials who attended duty and those who stayed away from work.

Officials said the government may take strict action after reviewing the reports. The department is also planning steps to keep circle offices running and reduce inconvenience for the public.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister and Revenue Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha earlier warned striking officers to return to work. He said the government may take action against employees who continue the protest.

The ongoing strike has slowed land-related services and created problems for citizens across the state.

Sinha said the special land survey and settlement work is progressing in several districts. Officials are closely monitoring the process to ensure the project finishes within the planned timeline. Once the survey ends, land records will become more accurate and transparent for the public.

The state government plans to review the progress regularly. A review meeting with district settlement officers will help assess the work and speed up the process wherever necessary.

Authorities believe the survey will reduce land disputes and simplify property-related procedures. Updated land records will also make buying and selling land easier for residents across Bihar.
