Bhubaneswar:8/8/17: In a big breather to the landless slum dwellers in urban areas, the Odisha Cabinet today cleared promulgation of two ordinances for assigning land rights or property rights for re-development, rehabilitation and upgradation of slums.

“We have taken a historic decision today to grant land rights to the slum dwellers living in municipal councils and Notified Area Councils of the State and to grant property rights to those living in Municipal Corporation areas,” Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik told media after today’s Cabinet meeting.

As per the decision taken in the Cabinet meeting chaired by the Chief Minister, 600 square feet land would be provided to identified slum residents under NAC and 600 square feet in case of municipality. The meeting also clarified that the land will solely be used for construction of houses. Further, it can neither be sold out nor exchanged. However, the allotted land can only be mortgaged in bank for loan. “The urban poor in slums will get land rights for residential use, that are inheritable, mortgageable and non-transferable,” the Chief Minister added.
