UP Govt. Grants Land Ownership to Bangladeshi Hindu Refugees
Imagine people who came from Bangladesh a long time ago, around 62 years, to live in India.
They were given land to live on, but they never officially owned it.
This meant they couldn't get help from the government.
Now, the government is going to give them the papers that say the land is theirs.
The leader, CM Yogi Adityanath, stepped in to make this happen.
This is happening in 25 villages, and will help over two thousand families finally own their land.
Uttar Pradesh government to grant land ownership to Hindu refugees from Bangladesh.
2,196 families in 25 Pilibhit villages will receive land rights after 62 years.
CM Yogi Adityanath intervened to resolve legal issues hindering land ownership.
Refugees were previously denied legal ownership and access to social programs.
Verification reports for 1,466 applicants have been sent to the state government.
