UP CM Yogi Adityanath has given historical instructions to legally provide land ownership to the families settled in the state by displaced from East Pakistan (present -day Bangladesh). This decision is a big step towards social justice and respect for more than 10,000 families settled in Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Bijnor and Rampur districts. Calling it a national responsibility, CM Yogi has instructed the officials to take time -bound action.
Explain that CM Yogi said in a high -level meeting that it is not only a matter of land transfer, but is an opportunity to honor the life struggle of thousands of families, who came to Uttar Pradesh after being displaced from East Pakistan after partition between 1960 and 1975. These families were settled in various villages and allotted agricultural land, but most families are deprived of landlord rights till date due to archival errors, land registered in the name of the forest department, and legal complications.
CM Yogi instructed the officials to treat these families with sensitivity and respect. He said that it is the moral responsibility of the government that these families should get the rights they have been entitled for decades.
What is the problem of displaced families,
- History of rehabilitation: Between 1960–1975, families from East Pakistan (existing Bangladesh) were settled through transit camps in Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Bijnor and Rampur.
- Legal hurdles: The lack of names in revenue records, claim of forest department on land, and delay in the nomination process deprived these families of landlords.
- Current situation: Many families built permanent houses on the land, but their names are not recorded in the revenue records. In some cases, the problem of occupation without a legal process has also been revealed.
Timed and sensitive action
The Chief Minister instructed the officials that:
- Legal solution: New legal options should be discovered for cases where land was allotted under the Government Grant Act, as this Act has been canceled in 2018.
- Responsibility of District Magistrates: The DMs of all concerned districts were asked to take action to improve archial errors and provide landlords in a time bound manner.
- Sensitivity and respect: Human views should be adopted with displaced families, so that their dignity remains.
Social justice and national responsibility
CM Yogi described this initiative as much more than rehabilitation. He said that it is a symbol of social justice, humanity and national responsibility. This effort will open the door to new hope and dignified life for neglected families for decades.
Thousands of families new beginnings
This decision of the Yogi government will not only provide economic stability and legal rights to the displaced families, but will also restore their social and emotional dignity. This can be a new beginning for thousands of families of Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Bijnor and Rampur.
