Haryana CM Nayab Singh Grants Property Rights to 5,000 Traders

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh distributed property certificates to 5,000 people in Manesar under the Mukhyamantri Shahri Swamitva Yojana. This scheme grants ownership rights to traders renting for over 20 years, in a move aimed at resolving long-standing property disputes, just ahead of the state assembly elections.

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh distributed property certificates on Thursday under the Mukhyamantri Shahri Swamitva Yojana to 5,000 people in Manesar.

Under this scheme, traders renting for more than 20 years have been granted ownership rights to their property at the collector rate.

The move comes a few months ahead of the assembly elections in Haryana.

According to an official statement, Singh congratulated the beneficiaries at the state-level registry distribution and Urban Lal Dora Property Certificate distribution programme held in Manesar. He noted that people had been suffering from the Lal Dora problem for a long time.

Many individuals had property in urban areas but lacked ownership rights, leading to numerous disputes in court and creating an atmosphere of fear among people that they might lose their property, he said.

If someone wanted to sell their property, they could not do so, nor could they secure a loan against it. The state government has resolved this issue, alleviating public fears, he added.

''During the 2019 elections, we had promised in the election manifesto to give ownership rights to all such people and today 5,000 people have benefited. They have got the ownership rights,'' the chief minister said.

He said of the properties located inside Lal Dora, about two lakh citizens across the state have benefited.

''After today, no one can remove them from their property. From today, you have become the owner of your properties. These are the properties whose revenue officials did not have the record of rights,'' he added.
