MINISTER OF STATE (DR. SUBHASH BHAMRE)
IN THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE
????? ????? ?????? (??. ????? ?????)
(a) & (b): No, Madam. There is no proposal to initiate any independent investigation into the cases of unauthorized construction on and / or sale of Old Grant Bungalows since these are mainly policy matters which require amendments to the existing policies.
(c) & (d): To resolve problems relating to inordinate delay in transfer and mutation of properties held on old grant sites, the DGDE have been asked to submit a revised draft policy. However, the interim policy for extension of fully expired leases and renewal of remaining terms of leases is under finalization in the Ministry. It is also intimated that a policy to convert old grant or lease hold rights in civil areas of Cantonments into freehold rights is already in existence. |
