Key Issues Due to Staff Shortage:
11 Tahasils Affected: Rayagada, Kolnara, Gudari, Bishamakatak, Muniguda, Chandrapur, Kashipur, Padmapur, and others.
Vacancies:

This staff shortage has crippled tahasil operations, delaying crucial government processes, including land record corrections for deceased owners.
The state government had instructed tahasil offices to conduct special camps for land record corrections of deceased landowners. However, lack of staff has halted progress in the district.
District Collector Narayan Ranjan Mishra has assured that the recruitment process has started in various departments to fill these vacancies and restore smooth operations.
