Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate a district-level title deed distribution mela (pattaya mela) at Fort Maidan here on Monday. As many as 17,845 pattayas (land title deeds) will be distributed at the function. This will be the biggest number in the State.
There will be 16,823 land tribunal pattayas, 394 pattayas under 1964 land assignment rules, 340 pattayas under the Kerala Land Reforms Act of 1963, 11 pattayas under the Kerala Scheduled Tribes (Restriction on Transfer of Lands) Act of 1999, and 277 pattayas under the Forest Rights Act of 2005.
The mela is being held as part of the Revenue department’s ‘land for all, records for all land, and all services smart’ scheme. The land tribunal pattayas were prepared by sorting out the files pending since 2000.
