Administrative work in Bihar’s circle offices has been severely affected after revenue officers across the state went on an indefinite strike, bringing several land-related services to a halt. The strike has led to disruption in key public services handled by the revenue administration.

According to officials, all Circle Officers (COs) joined the strike following a call by revenue service associations. As a result, routine operations in circle offices have largely stopped, affecting services such as land surveys, consolidation work, mutation processes and other revenue-related procedures that are crucial for farmers and landowners.

The protesting officers have raised concerns over the government’s handling of appointments to the Deputy Collector Land Reforms (DCLR) post. They claim that long-pending demands and directions related to the post have not been implemented, leading to frustration among officers.

The situation has become more complicated because revenue employees had already been protesting over separate demands. With both officers and staff absent from work, many circle offices remain nearly non-functional, creating difficulties for citizens seeking land-related services.
