| JKSAC demands mutation of DPs’ allotted land under Sec 3-A | | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
KATHUA, Jan 31: Jammu Kashmir Sharnarthi Action Committee (JKSAC) has reiterated its demand to constitute a high level committee of Revenue experts to probe the violations of Agrarian Reforms Act 1976 committed by Revenue Department of UT of J&K from the last many decades.
The demand was raised during a meeting of DPs of 1947 from PoK held at Khanpur under the chairmanship of President (Tehsil Marheen), Ashok Kumar Sharma.
The meeting said that the probe will restore the shattered faith of DPs in particular and masses in general as good governance of the government as being claimed every day. The participants in the meeting urged the Lt Governor to issue strict advisory to the Revenue Department to mutate the remaining DPs lands under section 3-A of Agrarian Reforms Act 1976.
Presenting the views in the meeting, President JKSAC Gurdev Singh along with Master Kuldeep Rai, Khem Raj and Deepak Raina said that these violations have caused great damage to the DPs of 1947 from PoK. He said that DPs were allotted evacuee as well as State lands vide Govt order 578-C of 1954 and 254-C of 1965 under a prescribed scale as per the strength of each family member. Thousands of families were allotted lands below their scale and possession of the same was not handed over to them despite the existing Agrarian Reform Act and other rules. He said many DPs could not manage cultivation of their allotted lands merely for the negligence of the previous governments and moreover the lands were allotted at more than one place and that too at a considerable distance from their places of dwellings. Such DPs are still struggling for possession even having orders of tribunal and courts in their hands, but the Revenue Department does not bother for the same and interpret the rules as per their convenience.
The participants in the meeting appealed to the Lt. Governor to issue strict advisory to the Revenue Department not to violate the Agrarian Reforms Act and mutate DPs allotted land under Section 3-A without further loss of time and also to constitute a high level committee of revenue experts to probe the violations committed so far. |
