You should go to civil court for declaration and permanent injunction, If you can not afford court, You can file F.I.R. against your neighbour with detailed application and send a copy to collector, S.P., Manav Adhikar Aayog, Chief Minister etc.

You can approach for district legal Aid office to get free legal Aid over the issue, if they are satisfied with your economically weak status they will provide you free legal Advice and assistance.
Although the proper channel is what you have already opted in case of encroachment over agricultural land proper forum is Tehsildar court (simankan) apart from that you can approach civil court for declaration and injunction over the land in dispute, if delay is the only point of concern you can also file a WP before High Court for a time bound or necessary direction to tehsildar courts.
