| Govt proposes land Act to check conversion of agri land | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, May 21: The Government has constituted a High Power Committee comprising Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs, Minister for Agriculture and Minister for Revenue to formulate draft legislation for appropriate land use policy for conservation of land, water bodies and ecosystem.
The step has been taken to check unplanned urbanization due to population growth and industrialization which has adversely affected agriculture land in a big way leading to its shrinkage. The ongoing process of over-exploitation and conversion of agriculture land has exposed the entire agriculture sector to most serious threats in the whole State.
Though various laws are in place in the state which prohibit and restrict conversion of agriculture land for non-agriculture purposes, still need has been felt for a comprehensive review of existing law on land use and making a strict law to make land use implementation agencies effective and accountable.In this connection, the law department, before finalizing the draft legislation on the subject, has sought public opinion on various related issues to work out a comprehensive, well-meaning, broad-based and practicable land use policy.
The interested persons, institutions have been asked to send suggestions, view to Shri Mohammad Ashraf Mir, Additional Secretary to Government, Law Department, Room No.222, Civil Secretariat or e-mail on ashraf662gmail.com by or before 30th May, 2010.
