He said that a special campaign will be launched in this regard and all such cases will be disposed of within a month. He said that after 31st December, if any dispute-free mutation is found pending in any Tehsil/Sub-Tehsil beyond the time limit of 45 days, strict action will be taken against the concerned officer/employee responsible for it.
