Meanwhile, at another meeting of the cabinet sub-committee held during the day, the UDH minister proposed extending relief in issues related to “mandir mafi” land. The sub-committee discussed the various aspects concerning the land, affected families and its impact on the livelihood of priests. However, another round of meeting is expected on the issue before the recommendations are forwarded to the state government for approval.

“Officials have been instructed to hold discussions with the affected families, priests and public on the issue of ‘mandir mafi’ land. 

A report based on the discussions shall be taken up at the next meet and thereafter the recommendations will be presented to chief minister,” said Kriplani.  It was a busy Thursday for the UDH minister as several meetings of his departments were scheduled.
