Delegation Urges Delhi Government for Agricultural Land Ownership Rights

A 50-member delegation met with Delhi minister Ravinder Indraj Singh to advocate for 'Bhumidari' or ownership rights for agricultural land allottees. The group emphasized this would enhance economic stability for underprivileged families and submitted a memorandum outlining their request, receiving assurance for further action.

A delegation of 50 members met with Delhi minister Ravinder Indraj Singh on Wednesday to push for 'Bhumidari' or ownership rights for agricultural land allottees under Section 74(4) of the Delhi Land Reforms Act, 1954. Led by Satya Narayan, the group aimed to strengthen the economic standing of beneficiary families.

During the meeting, the delegation highlighted that the lack of ownership rights has long affected the families of allottees, who have been waiting for more concrete entitlements. The delegation argues that securing these rights would significantly uplift the economic and social conditions under the government's welfare programs.

Minister Singh assured the delegation of the government's dedication to addressing their demands. He promised to work with relevant departments to consider the allocation of ownership rights, emphasizing the administration's commitment to social justice and equal opportunity.
