Bengaluru: Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda on Tuesday said that the state government will distribute title deeds to one lakh beneficiaries at a convention to be held in Haveri on February 14, marking 1,000 days of the Congress government in office.

According to Deccan Herald, addressing reporters at a press conference, Gowda said: “Title deed is not just a paper. It’s a computerised document issued by E-Swattu. We will issue title deeds that cannot be duplicated.”

Earlier, Gowda, along with Sugar Minister Shivanand Patil and MLA Srinivas Mane, held discussions with beneficiaries regarding the upcoming convention.

“Our government is giving a 100% land guarantee. Alongside title deeds, we are also getting it registered at the sub-registrar’s office. We are giving title deeds to those living in villages without documents. Lands sanctioned under ‘Darqast’ and ‘Bager Hukum’ do not have title deeds. We have given hope to those who were in a quandary. This is an achievement of our government,” DH quoted Byre Gowda as saying.

Krishna Byre Gowda said that the government has taken steps to address long-pending land ownership issues. He said around 49 lakh properties in the state were registered in the name of deceased individuals.

“Officers are working towards getting those lands registered under the names of the concerned individuals. Land ownership had become synonymous with land disputes. People had to travel to courts, offices etc. Now, the government itself is distributing title deeds,” he said.

The official said that 115 children were undergoing treatment at the Sadar Hospital, while around 50 students were admitted to Mahishi Public Health Centre.

“We received information that several children fell ill after consuming the mid-day meal in Baluaha. The children were initially treated at the primary health centre, but later, many were referred to the Sadar Hospital,” Saharsa District Magistrate Deepesh Kumar told reporters.

“According to doctors, the health condition of the children has improved, but they will be kept under observation for some time. There is no need to panic. Some kids are having mild fever. They are being treated accordingly,” Kumar said.

Meanwhile, family members of some children claimed that a snake was found in the container in which cooked pulses was stored at the school.

Of the 545 students present in the school, 200 had already eaten their meals by the time the snake was spotted, and later complained of stomach ache and vomiting, they said.

Regarding the claims, the DM said food samples have been collected from the school.

“We will be able to comment on this only after the results of the tested samples arrive,” he said.
