Madhya Pradesh Terminates Probationary Patwaris Amid Swamitva Yojana Implementation Dispute
The Madhya Pradesh government has terminated the services of at least nine probationary patwaris across Dewas, Ratlam, and Agar Malwa districts due to unsatisfactory performance related to the Swamitva Yojana. Additionally, around 200-250 probationary patwaris have received notices, and some have been suspended in Raisen and other districts. These actions have led to protests and threats of intensified agitation by the Patwari Association, which opposes the government's disciplinary measures against probationary staff.
