Panaji, Jun 9 (PTI) The beneficiaries of the “Mhaje Ghar” scheme, which regularises ancestral houses, will get the ownership documents at their doorsteps within the next six months, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Tuesday.
The scheme aims to grant legal ownership rights to long-time residents who have built homes on government, comunidade (community), or other public lands without proper documentation.
Addressing a state-level programme in Panaji to distribute the documents, the Chief Minister said opposition parties had tried to create hurdles to the passage of legislation on this scheme in the assembly.
Sawant appealed to people to question the opposition parties about their “anti-citizen” stand when they visit them seeking votes.
“The process to regularise the houses under this scheme has been taken up on a war front across Goa. We will ensure that in the next six months, the documents regularising the houses will be delivered at the doorstep of each beneficiary,” added Sawant.
Several beneficiaries were distributed the documents in the presence of ministers Atanasio Monserratte, Rohan Khaunte, Nilkant Halarnkar, and others. PTI RPS NSK
