Farmers’ groups and religious organisations have raised concerns over the government move to amend the Kerala Government Land Assignment Act.
The Bill seeking to amend the Act is expected to be introduced in the Assembly on Thursday. Farmers’ groups have demanded provision for unconditional use of assigned lands.
The proposed amendment will empower the government to regulate the use of public land allotted for building dwellings and farming. As per the amendment, rules could also be framed to discourage the use of the lands for purposes others than the stated ones.
