Tal (Ratlam). Four farmers from Kesarpura village in the tehsil area submitted applications at the Collector's public hearing on Tuesday, demanding immediate demarcation of their agricultural land. The farmers allege that despite submitting their application and paying the prescribed fee at the Public Service Center on March 26, 2026, their land has not been demarcated even after four months, leading to a dispute.

Applicants Balwant Singh, Vikram Singh, Ishwar Singh, and Geeta Bai stated that they had submitted applications for demarcation of their agricultural land, survey numbers 147/1, 147/2, 5/1, 218, 4/5, 4/4, and 4/3, as per the rules. Despite this, the Revenue Department has yet to take action.

The farmers say that the lack of demarcation is affecting tillage and sowing, and a land dispute persists. He stated that a complaint has been filed with the Tal Police Station in-charge, the Alot Sub-Divisional Officer (SDOP), and the Ratlam Superintendent of Police, but a permanent solution has not yet been found.

In the application, the farmers alleged that other nearby agricultural lands have been demarcated, while theirs have not yet been demarcated. They expressed concern that if they attempt to cultivate their land, it could lead to disputes and violence, for which the Revenue Department and the police administration will be held responsible.

Revenue officials arrived at the scene after receiving the complaint.

Revenue Inspector (RI) Solanki and the relevant Halka Patwari arrived at the scene after receiving the complaint. They called the nearby farm owners and counseled them, and urged the applicants to sow soybean on their land.

Revenue officials stated that demarcation is currently impossible due to the soybean crop standing in the fields. Demarcation will be carried out as per regulations after the harvest and the fields are cleared.
