Border disputes with other states

In order to resolve disputes with other states, Haryana government shall install pillars across the state borders. Work of installing pillars has already been started from Panipat district, informed Dushyant Chautala.

Haryana shares borders with Punjab, Delhi, UP, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan, where sometimes there are mutual disputes between people regarding their land boundaries. “Process of installing pillars on Haryana-UP border has been started in Panipat. In this, a target has been set to install five reference pillars, 91 sub-reference pillars and 2,423 boundary pillars in a year. An act namely ‘Haryana and Uttar Pradesh (Change of Border) Act, 1979’ was notified by the Government of India through ‘Act No. 31 of 1979’. According to the provisions of this act, ‘Dixit Award’ was passed by the Government of India and boundary pillars were established between the borders in both the states with the help of Survey of India. Due to the flow of river Yamuna and with time, the boundaries have been washed away. A meeting was held between the Chief Ministers of both the states in Lucknow on December 14, 2019 and between the officers of both the states on January 9, 2020 in Chandigarh. This matter is being taken up with Survey of India for land demarcation”, Dushyant apprised the House.

Lal Dora free villages

Opposition MLA Jagbir Singh Malik took on the state government citing several discrepancies in the government’s Svamitva Yojana to give ownership rights to people for their property. While speaking during Question Hour, Malik cited his own example and said that his family’s property was shown in his name, while all his brothers, who too hold the share in the same property, were ignored. He also cited other examples and alleged that there were several cases, where the original owners of the properties were not shown as the owners and rather tenants were shown as actual owners. Congress MLAs alleged that such discrepancies were bound to increase litigation in civil courts.
