Notably, there has been a marked rise in fear among the natives of Jammu and Kashmir regarding the settlement of outsiders in the union territory following Article 370 abrogation.
The central government is now considering bringing new legislation to protect the land rights of the native people of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) The move is presumably aimed at addressing the concerns of the citizenry of the union territory after the revocation of the special status of the erstwhile following the abrogation of Article 470 of the Indian Constitution. A bill in this regard is likely to be tabled in Parliament soon.
"Land rights for the locals in Jammu and Kashmir are coming up. Work is on for enacting a new law that will allay all fears of the people of Jammu and Kashmir," an official privy to the development said told news agency PTI.
Notably, there has been a marked rise in fear among the local natives of Jammu and Kashmir domicile regarding the settlement of outsiders in the union territory following the Article 370 abrogation and the subsequent bifurcation of the erstwhile state. There prevails an air of distrust and insecurity over the settlement of people from other states in the union territory now.
"Once the legislation is passed by Parliament, the fear of losing rights over land will be over in Jammu and Kashmir," the aforementioned official was quoted as saying.
On August 5, 2019, the Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre revoked the special status granted under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. Although much uproar was raised over its implementation back then, it has now been a year since the historic act, and statistics show that the situation in the valley is better than ever in the history of the land. Less militancy and more progress mark the region, now a union territory, as the administration's attempts for reform gradually take shape.
