Planning & Coordination and Land Revenue minister Neiba Kronu said the State government would conduct a cadastral survey and make land laws, besides revamping the whole system for bringing more clarity regarding land revenue and land records.
The minister stressed that revamping of the present system was a must, without which educated unemployed youth could not avail huge bank loans as the law did not permit mortgaging land, which was essential to start any project in the State.
Claiming that he had a special interest on the matter as it was linked to overall welfare of the State, Kronu informed the media at his residence here on March 14 that he had urged chief minister Neiphiu Rio to give him land revenue portfolio.
The minister said the lands law would be considerate and made with reference to special provisions made under Article 371 (A), adding that opinions of civil society organisations too would be sought on the matter to bring about a positive change in the State. He said the subsidy provided by the State government alone was not enough to start a good project by entrepreneurs.
Declaring that the new government would pay attention to the popular desire for improvement in roads, including repair of potholes, very soon, he added that the chief minister had decided to review performance of every minister regularly.
