Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has decided to provide land documents to people within an hour after they register their name in the sub-registrar office.

Informing the media here on Friday, additional chief secretary, Revenue, Pradipta Mohapatra said any person registering their name and details at the sub-registrar office, will be provided with the land documents by afternoon. The process will begin from April 1, he added.

He also said that the land-related cases pending under the Odisha Right to Public Service will be disposed of by February 5. The leave of the tehsildars with whom these cases are pending has been cancelled, he added.
