The district administration has not met the December 31 deadline for the allotment of land to the landless Pong Dam oustees as the Revenue Department has failed to process the matter.

Kangra Deputy Commissioner Nipun Jindal said efforts were being made to finalise the allotment of plots to the oustees at the earliest.

Today, revenue officials from Dehra subdivision visited Ban Chabbar village near the Pong Dam lake to survey the land for allotment.

Over 300 landless Pong Dam oustees have applied for allotment of plots in Dehra subdivision.

After The Tribune recently highlighted the plight of the oustees residing in Dehra subdivision, they were provided power supply.

These oustees were landless labourers working for landlords in villages on the banks of the Beas. After the construction of Pong Dam in 1961, their houses got submerged in the lake.
