It
seems for Gujarat Congress even the issue of Gauchar land will not
prove attractive in next assembly election campaign.
Revenue
department of Gujarat government has already prepared a policy draft
on pastoral land(gauchar) to comply with the last year’s Supreme
Court order.
CL
Meena, Principal Secretary (Revenue) has in talk with the Indian
Express correspondent Kapil Dave said that the govt has finalized the
draft for the new gauchar policy ahd sent it to Finance department
for their final views. “We expect to get it cleared soon,” Meena
added.
As
per the Indian Express report quoting Meena the policy has following
provisions:
-No
pastoral land to be given to industrial or commercial purpose. Govt
will also ensure these are not encroached against the interest of
local community.
-If
gauchar land is in middle of an urban area, the government will
denotify and sell the land and develop pastures at an alternate site.
-New
gauchar (pastoral) land policy to comply with the last year’s
Supreme Court order asking state govt to not sell govt owned pastoral
land for industrial or commercial use.
-If
gauchar land is in middle of an urban area, the government will
denotify and sell the land and develop pastures at an alternate site.
-In
some cases, the govt has given land for some public purposes, for
instance, schools, which require adjoining gauchar land. In such
cases, we will sell the land to them and use the money in developing
new pastoral land.
