| Land conversion goes on unabated in Sub-Division Hiranagar | | | ARUN TRISAL
Early Times Report
KATHUA, July 14: Despite strict instructions from local administration and various legislations including J&K Land Revenue Act, Agrarian Reforms Act and different sections in J&K constitution, the conversion of agrarian land for commercial and non-agricultural purposes continues across district Kathua including Tehsil Marheen.
Hundreds of acres of agricultural land is being converted into non-agricultural land as the administration watches like a mute spectator, the locals said.
In Jammu and Kashmir, under Section 133-A of the J&K Land Revenue Act, no agriculture land can be put to any other use. Under Jammu and Kashmir Land Revenue Act which came into force in 1939, there is a complete prohibition on converting of paddy or vegetable lands, floating fields etc into any other use. The second legislation viz Jammu and Kashmir Prohibition on Conversion of Land and Alienation of Orchards Act came into force. The need for enacting the said legislation was to prevent the people from converting the paddy land into other purposes.
However, there seems to be no law legislation in illegal conversion of agriculture land to commercial along NH-44 in district Kathua. One such case came into light wherein 16 kanals of agricultural land at village Hardo Muthi tehsil Marheen near Rajbagh, khasra no 1069,1074 and 1075 has been converted into plots and getting sold. People of the area have appealed to the Governor to prevent conversion of the agriculture land and punish those corrupt officials who are hand in glove with the violators of the rules. |
