The digital land map machine at the Purnia East Circle office has been out of order for several months, causing significant inconvenience to landowners for land measurement and matching CS-RS plots. To address this issue, a new system has been implemented. Until the machine is repaired, people can now obtain land maps online through the Geo-Records Portal.

Rahul Kumar, the digital map machine operator, stated that landowners can access the portal from any nearby internet cafe or their mobile/computer and pay the prescribed fee online. Applicants must accurately provide their complete postal address in the application. Subsequently, the department will deliver the map to the applicant's home within a stipulated timeframe via post or other means.

A notice informing about this new arrangement has been put up within the Circle office premises. This initiative aims to save landowners from repeatedly visiting the office for maps, thereby saving their time and effort. This step is a significant move towards bringing transparency and ease to land-related services.
