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.

Delhi: Father, son held for killing 19-year-old woman in suspected honour killing
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.
The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.
The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.
"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.
On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.
Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.
"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.
Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.
During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.
The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.
Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.
A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.
Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.
"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
