Nagpur : Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) will kick start distribution of land ownership titles to slum-dwellers of South West Assembly segment from December 16.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will distribute land ownership titles to beneficiaries at a function to be held at Jat tarodi road, Timber Market, near Mokshadham, at 5 pm on Sunday.
Union Minister for Road Transport Nitin Gadkari will preside over while Guardian Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule and Mayor Nanda Jichkar will be the guests of honour.
Sandip Joshi, Ruling Party Leader in NMC said, “Chief Minister will distribute land ownership titles to about 1,500 slum-dwellers of Saraswati Nagar, Fakirwadi, Rambagh, Jattarodi, Kundanlal Gupt Nagar, Borkar Nagar, Basod Mohalla Slum, Kafla Basti and Imambada – 2.”
Joshi also said that earlier, the State Government had given nod to distribution of land ownership titles to those living in slums before 2005. The conditions mentioned in the directives issued by the Government were difficult to meet for slum-dwellers to get ownership titles. In spite of a lot of efforts taken by the Government, the slum-dwellers did not get the titles. However, State Government has issued a new directive to provide land rights to slum-dwellers living in slums till 2011. Those eligible will have to submit residence proof, Aadhaar Card, Voter card and electricity bill copy along with property tax receipt. Fadnavis has relaxed several conditions in earlier directives to pave way for distribution of land ownership titles to slum-dwellers. They will have to pay registry charges and no stamp duty, he added.
