365 households provided landownership certificates in Hansapur

Janakpurdham: As many as 365 households, which have been settling in ward no. 5 of Hansapur Municipality for a long time without official documents, have been provided with landownership certificates.

The District Survey Office here had managed the mapping of lands in the area 11 years back, but the settlers were awaiting official documents to verify their ownership. The certificates were distributed here on Monday.

Chief of District Survey Office in Dhanusha, Umesh Kumar, informed that the issues relating to land and occupation were resolved and ownership certificates were distributed accordingly.

“With the acquisition of official documents to verify their land ownership, the households here can keep the land as collateral to receive a loan from banking and financial institutions,” he added. It would further contribute to revenue generation and economic activities.

Other local governments in the district are also planning to distribute land ownership certificates in the areas with unregistered settlements. RSS
