When this policy was being implemented by the Urban Local Bodies Department, it was brought to the notice of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar that a large number of properties were actually owned by other departments, boards and corporations of the government and had similarly been given on rent or lease basis to private individuals and entities.
The Chief Minister had directed to frame a comprehensive policy covering all departments so that there was no confusion at any level. The new policy was framed by the government and the Cabinet recently approved it.
The Chief Secretary made it clear that it is a one-time policy under which those covered will have to move their applications within three months of the notification of the policy.
He said the policy would not be applicable on land of Departments of Tourism, Transport and Health and Family Welfare.
The policy will also not be applicable on Shamlat lands, panchayat lands, Panchayat Samiti and Zila Parishad lands.
