A dispute has erupted over the land of an approximately 50-year-old tubewell in Sahebganj block. One party claims the land as their private property, while the other is demanding a thorough investigation into the matter. This conflict poses a challenge for the local administration as both sides remain firm on their respective claims.

Reportedly, this tubewell has been a crucial irrigation source for farmers in the region for decades. Local residents assert that the tubewell was established for public use, and any private claim over its land is unwarranted. Conversely, the party claiming private ownership states they possess documents to support their assertion.

The ongoing dispute has also impacted the tubewell's operation, potentially causing irrigation problems for farmers. Local villagers and farmers have appealed to the administration for immediate intervention and an impartial investigation to uncover the truth and ensure the tubewell can continue to be used as before. They emphasize that if the land was indeed for public use, declaring it private property would be incorrect. There is growing dissatisfaction among villagers regarding the local administration's silence on the issue, urging them to resolve the matter promptly and secure the tubewell's future.
