The promise had two layers: a specific district-level empowered committee mechanism, and the broader objective of acting against illegal land deals or land grabbing linked to demographic-change concerns. Approved reporting from September 2021, citing an official statement, says the government directed the DGP, all DMs and SSPs to constitute district-level committees and prepare lists relating to outsiders with criminal background involved in illegal land deals. In 2025 the Chief Minister Office also listed a strict land-law amendment prohibiting non-residents from buying agricultural and horticultural land in 11 hill districts. This shows substantial related action on the objective, but no clean approved-source evidence was found that after the 2022 mandate every district had an empowered committee actively investigating and resolving cases in mission mode. Budget: no specific budget allocation found for the promised committee mechanism.
