Uttar Pradesh government declared 4 villages near Nepal border as revenue villages

The Uttar Pradesh government has declared four villages along the Nepal border in the district as revenue villages, an official said on Sunday. Bahraich District Magistrate Dinesh Chandra Singh said that this decision was taken before the announcement of general elections to the UP Assembly. These four villages are Bhawanipur, Tedhiya, Dhakia and Bichiya located in Mihinpurwa tehsil of the district. All these villages are Vantangiya villages.

The Vantangia community includes people who were brought from Myanmar to plant trees during the colonial rule. A revenue village is a small administrative area with defined boundaries. A revenue village can have many villages. The village administrative officer is the head officer of the revenue village.

Singh said the decision in this regard was taken in a meeting chaired by the Chief Secretary on January 3, and the letter was received on January 8. “People of these villages will now get the benefits of all the schemes of the government,” he said.
