Dimapur, Nov. 30 (EMN): The GBs Union of Dimapur (urban) have written to the deputy commissioner of Dimapur requesting ‘specific notifications’ to inform the area or colony GBs when conducting spot verifications or surveys.
The union issued a copy of a letter, addressed to the deputy commissioner, to the media on Thursday.
‘It has been a prevailing random practice within Dimapur district that while conducting survey/spot verification by the surveyor/Mondal for mutation and transfer of ownership of land the concern area GBs are not normally informed,” the letter to the administration stated.
“And as a matter of fact, the area/colony GBs are well aware of the factual position and status of a particular plot/area. That however, due to non-inclusion of the concerned area/colony GBs while conducting spot verification, apparently there has been many disputes and under such circumstances, the GBs could not effectively play an active role to settle the matter in dispute.”
The organisation opined that the area/colony GBs should be included in the exercise “so that the concern GBs who are well aware of the factual position will effectively assist the surveyor in conducting spot survey and to avoid complication and disputes in the process of transfer of land, title and ownership.”
The GBs’ union has requested the district administration to look into the matter “on merit and on priority” for ‘common interest’ and to avoid any dispute.
