Shimla,
It was during the BJP regime that the people were asked to give affidavits for regularization of encroached land which were never regularized and created chaos amongst the people.

He urged the people not to encroach upon Government land adding that the orders for removal of encroachments were given by the Hon’ble High Court, but due to review petition filed by the State government, the Hon’ble High Court sympathetically considered the plea of the Government for not axing the fruit bearing trees and orchards encroached upon. He said that landless poor in the State would be provided land for construction of houses and a policy was there to provide three biswas of land for construction of house for houseless and landless. There were different parameters for providing land to houseless and landless in urban and rural areas. He said that as per policy three biswa and two biswa land would be provided to people in rural and urban areas respectively.
