ASSIGNMENT - Land - Project affected lands - Further instructions - Issued.

The Government have reexamined the question of assignment of project affected lands in the state and have considered that the ban now existing on the assignment of certain project affected lands pending should not be allowed to linger on for an indefinite period. They accordingly direct that, in partial modification of the previous orders, the lands under the projects where alignment of the canals and the rehabilitation work is over, might be assigned according to the rules. The ban on assignment should be effective only in respect of lands under such projects which are under construction or which are being definitely taken up during the Five Year Plan. There should be no ban on assignments under projects, which are only contemplated and there is no definiteness about their execution or otherwise.
