In addition to the 750 licensed surveyors already recruited, the State government will soon be inviting applications to fill 357 vacant posts of officials and surveyors in the Department of Survey, Settlement and Land Records, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda has said.
Speaking to presspersons after visiting various offices in the Mini Vidhana Soudha of Hubballi on Wednesday, Mr. Byre Gowda admitted that because of the lack of surveyors, survey works are being delayed and to overcome this anomaly, the government appointed 750 licensed surveyors after providing training to them.
Depending on the requirement and pending survey applications, surveyors will be deployed in various taluks, he added.
