Raipur (Chhattisgarh) [India], May 14 (HBTV): Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Saturday announced ten new reforms in the state’s registry and revenue departments aimed at simplifying the land registration process — a step towards making land dealings more transparent and hassle-free.

He said the reforms are designed to make the system more efficient and to protect citizens from fraud.

‘Ten new reforms have been introduced in the land registration process. People had to face a lot of trouble earlier, but now the enrollment will be done along with the registry. No fake person can sell the land as the buyers and sellers will be linked with the Aadhaar,’ CM Sai told reporters.

A key feature of the new process is the mandatory linking of Aadhaar numbers to both buyers and sellers to prevent fraudulent land transactions by impersonators.

Earlier on Thursday, CM Sai met with victims of naxalism — individuals who have lost limbs or suffered injuries due to blasts. He said that these people have urged the state government to continue the ongoing anti-Naxal operation in the Karragutta Hills along the Chhattisgarh-Telangana border.

‘The victims of naxalism from various places, like Sukma, Bijapur, Kanker, and other areas, who got injured or lost a body part, have come to meet me today. Some people have lost their eyes or legs. They are requesting that the ongoing Naxal operation continues in the Karragutta Hills on the border of Chhattisgarh and Telangana,’ the Chief Minister said in Raipur.

Claiming that several ‘institutions’ are pressuring the government to halt the operations, he criticised their lack of engagement with the victims.

‘A lot of institutions and people want to stop this operation. But today, a lot of people have come here; they are innocent and troubled by naxalism. These victims have been afflicted due to naxalism. The people who are trying to stop this operation did not meet these people,’ he said.
