“Constitute an empowered committee in every district to investigate and resolve in mission mode issues relating to illegal land grabbing leading to demographic changes in the state.”
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.
CMO public record listed implementation of a strict land law restricting non-resident purchase of agricultural and horticultural land in 11 hill districts.
