Bengaluru: One lakh people to receive title deeds at Haveri convention, says Krishna Byre Gowda
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.
