IndiaTimes Monday, 1 January 2024
The purchase of agricultural and horticulture land by people of other states has been banned in Uttarakhand until a five-member committee submits its final report on new land laws. The committee, headed by additional chief secretary Radha Raturi, was instructed by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami to review the draft submitted by a committee led by former chief secretary Subhash Kumar in 2022. The committee will interact with people in different parts of the state and take suggestions from experts before presenting its final draft.
