Punjab has Approved the Mission Lal Lakir in all villages

On 19 February 2021, the Cabinet of Punjab under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Amarinder Singh enabled the villagers living within the red line to demonetize their property rights and avail the benefits provided by the government department, institute and bank. The implementation of Mission Lal Streak has been approved.

Recently, the Punjab Cabinet approved the implementation of the mission ‘Lal Lakir’ in all villages across the state. The main objective of this mission is to provide facilities to the villagers for property rights and benefits provided by government departments, institutions and banks.

 

There is no record of rights available for such properties in the ‘Lal Lakir’ mission, so at present, the dematerialization cannot be done as per the actual value of the property and no mortgage can be made on such properties.

Under this mission, the right to record the properties in the ‘red streak’ in the villages of the state will be prepared in collaboration with the Government of India under the SVAMITVA (Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvement Technology in Rural Areas) scheme.

According to the government, there will be such houses within the ‘red streak’ that do not have any property other than ‘red streak’ areas. The ‘red streak’ refers to the land that is part of the village ‘population’ (habitation) and is used only for non-agricultural purposes.
