Summary:
On October 31, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited Cooch Behar and asked officials to arrange land deeds for dwellers of former enclaves. “We had demanded Lok Adalat be put up in the villages where land disputes would have been cleared faster. There are a lot of land disputes too,” said Roushan Sarkar, a resident of Batrigach enclave (former) and a BA student in Dinhata college. But proper land survey and demarcations are yet to be done. Following this, the Assembly passed the West Bengal Land Reforms (Amendment) Bill 2018 unopposed, paving the way for handing over deeds to landholders..
