“Continuous action is being taken in this regard,” a government spokesperson affirmed, highlighting particular focus on instances where land purchased for specific purposes — such as establishing industries, agriculture, horticulture, or even schools — was subsequently diverted for other, unauthorised uses.These cases of misuse have prominently surfaced across districts, including Dehradun, Haridwar, Pauri, Tehri, and Almora.The 3.006 hectares of land now vested with the state government include notable parcels such as 0.40 hectares in Bageshwar, 1.65 hectares in Rudrapur, 0.55 hectares in Siltauna (Nainital), and 0.758 hectares in Almora.Reiterating the government’s commitment, Chief Minister Dhami told reporters, “In line with public sentiment, the robust land law implemented for land management and reform in the state has successfully curbed the uncontrolled sale of agricultural and horticultural land in Uttarakhand.”He added, “A widespread campaign is underway, and such land is being vested with the state government.”
