Villagers in the district will get ownership rights of land and houses in “lal lakeer” (village residential areas) as the district administration has started digitising and mapping of land records as pilot project in the district.

Devashweta Banik, DC, addressing revenue officers here today, said the district had 1,482 habitat villages and all would be covered under the programme. Once the process completed, people would be given property rights and property cards would also be given to them.

A team of the Department of Survey of India from the zonal office, Chandigarh, apprised the revenue officials of marking of land. It also trained the officials on how to use drones and make calculations of the area on the basis of mapping done by using drones. — OC
