Officials Assure No Eviction from Gairan Lands in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
In Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, people who live on government grazing lands (Gairan lands) were worried they would be kicked off their land.
The local government official, Jitendra Papalkar, said that won't happen.
A group called the Lal Bavta Shet Mazoor Union protested to make sure the people could stay.
They met with Papalkar, who promised no one would be removed.
Before this, the District Collector had said people would have to leave the land.
The people want to keep their land and have asked to be given ownership, so the government won't make them move.
Divisional Commissioner Jitendra Papalkar assured no one will be removed from Gairan lands.
The Lal Bavta Shet Mazoor Union organized a protest against potential land removal.
A meeting with the Divisional Commissioner resulted in the assurance.
The District Collector had previously issued a notification for encroachment removal.
Landholders demand cancellation of the notification and ownership rights.
