The Uttar Pradesh government has launched ‘Varasat’ campaign to curb property & land-related disputes in rural areas.
- This is a first of its kind campaign to end the nagging land-related issues in the rural areas.
- The campaign is aimed at eradicating the exploitation of the villagers in the name of ‘Varasat’ of land and property.
- This special campaign will continue till February 15, 2021.
- According to the State Government, ‘Varasat’ will not only end the long pending land disputes, but will also put a check on the land mafia who generally target disputed lands especially in the rural areas.
- Under the arrangements people will get both online and offline facilities for registering the ‘Varasat’.
- For the people who have land in the village but they are living at some other place, a special counter will be opened at the Tehsil-level where they can apply for the same.
