J&K to implement ‘land to landless’ scheme despite local opposition

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).

“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.
