Highlights:
- Two years have passed since the deletion of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir
- How many people bought land in Jammu and Kashmir? Questions in the Lok Sabha
- Purchase of land here from only two persons
The Center on Tuesday informed the Lok Sabha that even after the repeal of Section 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, only two persons from outside the state had bought land there.
Answering a written question, Union Home Minister Nityanand Rai has given information about land sale in Kashmir. With the repeal of Section 370, the question was raised as to whether persons from outside Kashmir are willing to buy land there and how many people have bought land in Kashmir.
“As per the information given by the Jammu and Kashmir government, since the repeal of Section 370 in August 2019, two persons have made two land purchase transactions in Kashmir,” Rai said. The question was whether the government and people from other states face difficulties or obstacles in buying land in Kashmir. The reply was, “No such incident has been reported to the government.”
On August 5, 2019, the special status of the state of Jammu and Kashmir was revoked and the state was divided into two Union Territories. Under this, the central government also changed the rules of residence in the state. According to the new changes, a person who has lived in Kashmir for at least 15 years becomes a permanent resident of the region. The administration has decided to issue permanent residency certificates to central government employees and their children who have been working in Kashmir for ten years. Earlier, the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly had the power to make permanent residency rules.
