CPI(M) to Protest Against Proposed Land Law Changes in Himachal
The CPI(M), a political party, is upset about a possible change to a land law in Himachal Pradesh.
This law, from 1972, protects the state's land and resources.
The government wants to change this law, but the CPI(M) says this would hurt the people, especially farmers, and the environment.
They worry that corporations could buy up land, causing problems like environmental damage and hurting the local economy.
The CPI(M) is planning protests if the government moves forward with the changes, urging people to unite against this proposal.
CPI(M) opposes the Himachal Pradesh government's proposed amendment to Section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972.
The CPI(M) deems the amendment anti-people and harmful to the state's interests.
The party warns of statewide agitation if the government proceeds with the proposal.
Section 118 was originally enacted to safeguard the rights of the people over the state's natural resources.
CPI(M) alleges past attempts to amend Section 118 by both BJP and Congress governments.
