GUWAHATI
The Assam government has restricted the grant of no objection certificates (NOCs) for the sale of land between people belonging to different religions for three months.
Citing inputs from intelligence agencies on cases of attempts to transfer land involving people of different religious communities “by fraudulent means”, a March 7 notification issued by the Revenue and Disaster Management (Registration) Department through the State Governor said the grant of NOCs has been “kept in abeyance” to prevent vested interests from creating communal conflicts during the Lok Sabha elections.
