Sir,
The recent issuance of detailed guidelines by the Revenue Department for conferring proprietary rights to West Pakistani refugees and ownership rights to the displaced persons (DPs) of 1965 is a commendable step by the Government.
This move, approved by the Administrative Council headed by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, ensures justice and stability for these long-suffering communities.
By setting clear criteria for eligibility and requiring thorough documentation, the guidelines promote transparency and fairness.
The emphasis on maintaining accurate revenue records and the inclusion of provisions for legal heirs under relevant succession laws reflect a thoughtful and inclusive approach.
Additionally, the monthly progress reporting to higher authorities will ensure diligent implementation.
This initiative acknowledges the hardships faced by these displaced individuals and provides them with long-overdue security and recognition.
It is a significant stride towards rectifying historical injustices and fostering trust in governance.
