Maharashtra Grants Land Titles to Sindhi Refugees
The government in Maharashtra is giving property titles to Sindhi families who were displaced after the partition of India.
This is part of a plan to help these families.
The government is also trying to make a difference between Hindu Sindhi refugees and other migrants.
Some people in the opposition agree with helping the Sindhi community but warn the government to not treat Muslim community in a bad way.
Maharashtra government will issue property titles to Sindhi families under the ‘Special Abhay Yojana 2025’.
The scheme aims to provide ownership titles at concessional rates to properties registered as of December 31, 2024.
This initiative fulfills a promise by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
