The cabinet has taken steps in the direction of removing the problems being faced regarding the registry of lands in hilly areas. In this episode, it has been decided that in hilly areas, where there are no sub-registrars in tehsils, only tehsildars will be able to register.
Decision to increase MLA fund also:
The cabinet has also decided to increase the MLA fund. The MLA fund has now been increased to five crore rupees. Earlier this limit was 3.75 crores.
Under this fund, Rs 50 lakh can now be given to Mahila Mangal Dal and Yuvak Mangal Dal for cultural programmes. Earlier this limit was 40 lakhs. Similarly, Rs 50 lakh can be given from the MLA’s fund for the beautification of cultural and religious places. Earlier this limit was 25 lakhs.
Registry will now get relief in hilly areas:
In the hilly areas of the state, now the registry will not have to wait for the posting of the sub-registrar. Tehsildars will also be able to register in the tehsils here. The cabinet has approved this proposal of the Revenue Department.
This topic was put up by the Revenue Department in the cabinet meeting on Monday. It said that due to the shortage of sub-registrars, many times the same sub-registrar is given the charge of more than one tehsil. This is affecting the functions of the registry. In view of this, the Revenue Department has sent a proposal to the Government to hand over this responsibility to the Tehsildar, which has been approved by the Government.
