Summary:
Dehradun, Apr 21 (PTI) Uttarakhand may soon have new and stricter laws regulating the sale and purchase of land, similar to those in Himachal Pradesh that impose restrictions on land deals with outsiders.
A committee constituted last year to recommend amendments to the land laws is likely to submit its recommendations to the state government in about 10 days.
“We had sought reports from all the district magistrates on the sale and purchase of land in their areas.
Some reports have already arrived and the rest will come in a day or two.
We hope to submit our recommendations to the state government on the matter in a week or ten days,” chairman of the panel and former chief secretary Subhash Kumar told PTI.
A majority of the people are in favour of stricter land laws on the lines of those in Himachal Pradesh so that the sale and purchase of land, especially in the hills, is regulated, he said.
