Lawyers Continue Strike Against Online Land Mutation
The protest by lawyers in the Utralla tehsil of Balrampur district against the online process for land mutation continued on Tuesday. The strike has completely halted judicial work at the tehsil court for the past fortnight, causing significant hardship to the public.
Traffic Disrupted by Protest March
A large number of lawyers, led by Bar Association President Prahlad Yadav and General Secretary Ravi Shankar Mishra, took out a procession from the tehsil premises. The procession reached Shyam Prasad Mukherjee Chowk, where demonstrators staged a road blockade while raising slogans against the government. Traffic was completely disrupted for nearly an hour.
Traffic Blockade Lifted After Assurances
Upon receiving information, the Additional District Magistrate arrived at the scene and held talks with the protesting lawyers. The lawyers ended the traffic blockade after receiving positive assurances from the officials regarding their demands. However, Bar Association President Prahlad Yadav clarified that the protest would continue until the online mutation process is completely abolished.
Revenue Case Disposal Affected
With the tehsil court’s work stalled for the past two weeks, the disposal of crucial land-related mutations and other revenue matters has been impacted. The absence of lawyers from work has left numerous citizens unable to complete their legal tasks. The protest saw participation from many lawyers including Devendra Kumar, Amit Kumar, Alok Gupta, Om Prakash Srivastava, Sudhir Srivastava, Nizam Ansari, Akhilesh Yadav, Anisul Hasan, Khalil Khan, Girish Pandey, Lalji Mishra, Bhupendra Singh, B.K. Singh, Vinay Srivastava, Shadab Khan, Manish Pandey, Gafzar Ali, Shweta Singh, Manoj Sharma, Devendra Nishad, Nazir Malik, Ashish Kasodhan, Aisha Faizan Khan, Rashmi Singh, Atul Yadav, Akhil Srivastava, Shahbaz Fazal Khan, Arif Khan, Vineesh Gupta, Sandeep Gupta, Subhash Verma, Pravesh Kumar, and Alok Kumar.
