The Lieutenant Governor’s administration on July 7 hardened its stand over the implementation of ‘land to landless’ scheme in J&K, as several political parties continue to oppose any move to settle “outsiders” in the Union Territory (UT).
Landless ignored
“The J&K government is providing land to landless citizens who were ignored in the past. They are eligible under PMAY (G) and will soon have their own house. However, some influential people and their associates, who grabbed state land, think that the poor should not get government resources,” L-G Sinha, said at the inauguration of the National Tribal Festival in Srinagar.
