'No rehabilitation without proper land documents



 
KOKRAJHAR, Sept 24: The rehabilitation of the displaced people staying in various relief camps in BTC region is being made only after proper scrutiny of land and other related documents. Talking to reporters, BTC Deputy Chief Kampa Borgoyary said that no one would be allowed to resettle if they failed to produce land pattas and other documents verifying them as Indian citizens.    
Borgoyary said, the BTC administration was gearing up for proper scrutiny of displaced people in the recent violence, for resettling them to their respective villages. He said the scrutiny was just completed in the Chirang district, where people were forced to produce land pattas.
Borgoyary said, of 25,000 families affected in the recent conflicts, 18,000 families had filled up the formats of the rehabilitation forms as per the Government norms in Kokrajhar district. He said, nearly 8,000 families were reported to have no land patta while another 8,000 families were recorded as doubtful citizens. On the other hand, 1,077 families have no lands in the region, he said, adding that the BTC administration, in association with concerned department of the State Government has been carrying out the process of resettlement in the region, so that only the genuinely affected people were rehabilitated at the earliest.
Borgoyary said, the displaced people would be rehabilitated after the proper scrutiny of the land documents as per the agreement with the group of ministers of Assam Government and BTC administration in August this year.
