The Ministry of Home Affairs on Tuesday announced that now any Indian citizen can purchase land and settle in Jammu and Kashmir. On Tuesday, a new notification has been issued by the ministry, after a year of Article 370 abrogation. However, the ban on farming land will continue.
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said that we want outside industries to be set up in Jammu and Kashmir, so there is a need to invest in industrial land. But the cultivated land will remain only for the people of the state.
The Union Home Ministry has taken this decision under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, under which any Indian can now buy land for a factory, house, or shop in Jammu and Kashmir. For this, there will be no need to provide any proof of being a local resident.
