"We will ask the Revenue people whether they can do it or not. If they say they will do it, we will give the responsibility or will transfer to other department.

Nothing will happen with your unions," said the Chief Minister. KCR further said that the government was in process of bringing a strong revenue system.

Entire process would be made online and the money should be deposited into the government account every day. The government would implement the new Municipal and Panchayat Raj Acts stringently, said the Chief Minister.
