RAIPUR THURSDAY NOVEMBER 06, 2014
Raipur, (VW) In a rare gesture,
Chhattisgarh government has distributed permanent "patta" of 99 years for
shops-cum-houses among 134 families, who had migrated to India in
year 1964 during civil war of the then
eastern
Pakistan

These families are residents of
Mana Nagar Panchayat area near capital city Raipur of Chhattisgarh.
State Chief Minister Dr Raman
Singh distributed "patta" among these
families at "Jandarshan" Hall of his
residence office on Wednesday. State
Revenue Department has provided permanent patta for commercial purpose at
nominal land revenue of Rs 1 only.
State Housing and Environment

was an extremely painful experience for
them, he added.
After getting permanent "patta" from
the state government, the tag of "mi-

grants" will be removed from them.
These families will also be more emotionally connected with the state of
Chhattisgarh after getting the "patta".

hurdles to guarantee a secured future to
these families by providing them their
own houses.
Each family has been provided with
"patta" of 369 sq ft of land.
Dr Raman Singh recalled how these
families migrated from their birthplace in Bangaldesh to Indian amid extremely difficult situation five decades
back.

in Chhattisgarh and have been living
here since generations.

families have officially become residents of Chhattisgarh.
