Chandigarh: CM Nayab Singh today distributed property certificates under the Mukhyamantri Shahri Swamitva Yojana to 5,000 people who had been deprived of ownership rights for years. Under this scheme, traders who have been renting for more than 20 years have been granted ownership rights to their property at the collector rate.
While congratulating the beneficiaries at the state-level registry distribution and Urban Lal Dora Property Certificate distribution programme held in Manesar today, Nayab Singh said that people had been suffering from this Lal Dora problem for a long time.
Many individuals had property in urban areas but lacked ownership rights. Numerous disputes were ongoing in court, creating an atmosphere of fear among people that they might lose their property. If someone wanted to sell their property, they could not do so, nor could they secure a loan against it. The present state government has resolved this issue, alleviating the public's fears, he added.
The Chief Minister said that during the 2019 elections, we had promised in the election manifesto to give ownership rights to all such people and today 5000 people have benefited, they have got the ownership rights. He said that out of the properties located inside Lal Dora, about two lakh citizens across the state have got the benefit of property.
