NEW DELHI: In a move that will simplify the transfer of ownership rights of agricultural land in 174-plus 'declared urban villages', lieutenant governor V K Saxena announced Tuesday the opening of mutation on the basis of inheritance. He said the decision will impact lakhs of residents who had been denied this natural right from 2010. "I have been frequently visiting villages of the Capital and repeatedly received demands from every single village.
Several civic society organisations had requested the opening of the process for mutation...
A delegation of seven MPs from Delhi too had given a representation," Saxena said at a DDA event in Mangolpuri industrial area. "From Tuesday, mutation of agricultural land in the urbanised villages of Delhi on the basis of inheritance has begun by revenue authorities as it used to be done earlier." Land mutation : Camps to be set up from this week To roll out the process, camps will be set up in villages from this week, starting with 12 villages on Friday.
An official said no amendment will be required in Delhi Development Act to implement the process. The 174-odd villages were declared urbanised from 2017 onwards. However, the process of transferring the title or ownership of the land to family members was stopped as the villages were urbanised and transferred to DDA.
Officials argued that post-urbanisation, the Delhi Land Revenue Act, under which mutation is done, was no longer applicable to them. Bhupinder Bazad , president of the maste.
