But, to facilitate the Rajiv Gandhi Trust this rule was amended on January 23,2009 according to which panchayat may with prior approval of the state, lease out its land for the period of not more then 33 years," Vij said.<br /><br />The minister for parliamentary affairs Randeep Surjewala laid down chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda's statement which included the process involved in the leasing out of land to RGCT.<br /><br />Haryana chief minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda clarified, on the floor of the House, that the action of the government with regard to the grant of lease of land to Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust is in public interest and in accordance with the law of the land.<br /><br />"Land measuring 40 kanal, 3 marlas belonging to gram panchayat, village Ullawas, Gurgaon was leased out to Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust as per the provisions of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961, the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Rules, 1964 and instructions dated March 3, 2008,'' the chief minister said in his statement in Vidhan Sabha.<br /><br />Following this, the chief minister elaborated upon the further procession followed by government as well as the conditions imposed by panchayat while confirming the allotment of land.
