TN Revenue Employees Association Begin Boycott of SIR Work
The Tamil Nadu Revenue Employees Association (TNREA) has recently announced their decision to begin a boycott of the Systematic Image Registration (SIR) work. The association, which comprises of over 50,000 members, has taken this step in response to the government’s failure to address their long-standing demands regarding the implementation of SIR.
SIR is a digital land registration system that was introduced by the Government of Tamil Nadu in 2018. The system aims to streamline the land registration process and reduce the chances of fraudulent land transactions. However, the employees of the revenue department have been facing several issues with the implementation of SIR.
The TNREA has been demanding that the government address these issues and provide a better working environment for the employees. However, their pleas have fallen on deaf ears, and the employees have now decided to take matters into their own hands.
The association has stated that the boycott will begin from the 1st of September and will continue until their demands are met. This move is expected to significantly impact the functioning of the revenue department, as the employees play a crucial role in the registration of land and property.
The decision to boycott SIR work was made after careful consideration by the TNREA. The association believes that this is the only way to make the government pay attention to their demands. They have also assured that they will continue to perform all other duties and responsibilities assigned to them.
The employees have been facing several challenges with the implementation of SIR. Firstly, the system is not user-friendly, and the employees have not received adequate training to use it effectively. This has resulted in delays and errors in land registration, causing inconvenience to the public.
Moreover, the employees have been burdened with additional work, as the implementation of SIR has not reduced the workload as promised by the government. They have to manually input data into the system, which is time-consuming and has increased their workload.
The association has also raised concerns about the security of data in SIR. They claim that the system is vulnerable to hacking and can compromise the privacy of citizens. They have urged the government to take necessary measures to ensure the safety and confidentiality of data in SIR.
The employees have been demanding that the government provide them with proper training, adequate staff, and a user-friendly system to ensure the smooth functioning of SIR. However, their requests have been ignored, and the employees have reached a breaking point.
The TNREA has also clarified that their boycott is not a strike, and they are not demanding any increase in salary or benefits. Their only demand is for the government to address the issues with SIR and provide a conducive working environment for the employees.
The association has requested the public to bear with them during this boycott, as it is for the benefit of all citizens. They have also assured that they will work diligently to clear the backlog of work once their demands are met.
The decision of the TNREA to boycott SIR work has received widespread support from other employee associations and trade unions. They have extended their support and solidarity to the employees and have urged the government to take immediate action to resolve the issue.
In conclusion, the TN Revenue Employees Association’s decision to boycott SIR work is a bold move to make the government address their long-standing demands. It is a peaceful protest by the employees who have been left with no other option. We hope that the government takes notice and takes necessary steps to resolve the issues with SIR, ensuring a better working environment for the employees and a smoother land registration process for the citizens.
