Cabinet Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian directed officials to pay special attention to the functioning of Tehsils and Patwarkhanas (revenue offices). The key points of his directives were:
Transparency: Operations within Tehsils and Patwarkhanas must be made more transparent to ensure that the general public faces no inconvenience.
