The administration will compensate the same amount of wasteland for the grazing land given as patta

Those who have been occupying the grazing property for more than 35 years will be regularized by the state government. The district administration will compensate the quantity of land that will be regularized with the equivalent amount of wasteland. The residents who have built houses on the pasture land for 35 years will be given patta. A policy has been developed for the same. The tehsildar will compile a list of these individuals. Those who are to be regularized will be required to provide ration cards, voter lists, electricity, water, and telephone bills as proof that they lived there before January 1, 1986. The collector will be required to compensate the same amount of pasture land taken for regularization by providing an equivalent quantity of wasteland. Any person already having a house to live in the panchayat will not be given any land. The government discussed the issue with the advocate general, and it was decided at the Cabinet Meeting on December 20 that instead of removing the inhabitants, they would be given patta over the land. Following that, a policy was established to regulate the population on the pasture land.
