The Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor’s administration on August 25 reserved the land to landless scheme under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Gramin) to only domiciles of the Union Territory.
“A person shall be considered landless if he is a domicile of J&K having a separate family and doesn’t have land in his own name or in the name of any of his family members or is not entitled to inherit five Marlas or more land,” reads the latest government order.
It said the State land will be allotted on a lease basis to the landless beneficiaries under the PMAY (G)/Awas plus of the Rural Development Department as per the permanent waiting list of 2018-19.
