Swaraj Dweep, April 27: The District Administration, South Andaman has undertaken a focused initiative to expedite the disposal of long-pending land diversion cases pertaining to Swaraj Dweep under Sri Vijaya Puram Tehsil, with an emphasis on improving service delivery and reducing pendency.
A Camp Court was convened on 25th and 26th April, 2026 at Gram Panchayat Community Hall, Shyam Nagar, Swaraj Dweep, under the chairmanship of Shri Kamaleshwar Rao S, IAS, Assistant Commissioner, South Andaman. The primary objective of the Camp Court was to address and resolve pending land diversion cases at the field level, thereby ensuring timely and accessible redressal for applicants.
During the proceedings, hearings for all pending diversion cases were conducted. Notably, several long-pending cases, including those dating from 2014 to March 2026, were taken up for disposal.
This initiative significantly streamlined the decision-making process and contributed to a substantial reduction in pending cases, thereby providing much-needed relief to applicants.
The initiative underscores the Administration’s commitment to ensuring efficient governance, transparency and prompt grievance redressal, particularly in remote and island regions. The District Administration will continue to organize such outreach programmes to enhance accessibility to Government services and to further minimize pendency in public matters.
