M.P. to give ‘pattas’ to tribals

Staff Correspondent

BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan has said that “pattas” (land ownership rights) would be given to the tribals occupying forest land keeping December 13, 2005, as the cut-off date.

The Central Government is framing rules for this purpose, he said, adding that in case the rules are not finalised within a month, the Madhya Pradesh government would start distributing pattas.

Addressing a function organised as part of Janadesh-2007 Satyagraha Padyatra organised by Ekta Parishad here over the weekend, the Chief Minister announced open support to any non-violent movement in the interest of the common people.

The Chief Minister said influential persons illegally occupying forest land allotted to the tribals would be evicted and possession of land would be given to the rightful owners.

He said Janadesh was enhancing awareness and educating the poor about their rights.
