Dimapur, April 26 (MExN): The New Chumukedima 'B' Khel Sub-Committee has resolved that allotment of land in the Khel by anyone other than the ‘B’ Khel authority is all treated as null and void. During the emergency meeting of the Sub-Committee along with the Khel chairman on March 19 at TL Angami Park, it was also decided that any person occupying land at ‘B' Khel without any valid document from the ‘B’ Khel authority will “not be allowed to disturb the landowner’s right.”
The meeting discussed various issues related to allotment of land in the Khel and cancellation of various areas where the owners had failed to construct dwelling houses as per directive in the allotment order.
According to a press release from New Chumukedima 'B' Khel officials, the meeting also discussed non-payment of yearly house tax by the Khel people to the Government for the last 9-10 years and also not contributing any kind or cash towards the development of B Khel. Moreover, many also sold out their allotted land in violation of land allotment conditions given, the release said.
The release also informed that during the verification of allotted land within ‘B’ Khel, the Sub-Committee was surprised to find a sale deed from the possession of one person that he had “purportedly and illegally purchased an area within ‘B’ Khel measuring about 100 puras of ‘B’ Khel land at the cost of Rs. 4 lakh only on 25/09/2002.” Moreover, it said, the sale deed was prepared on September 10, 2007 only “without obtaining any registration number and also without any witness from the rightful landowners at four corners after all road connectivity and electrification was done over the village area within ‘B’ Khel by spending more than crores of rupees.”
The Sub-Committee after thorough verification found that the “same sale deed did not have any authority according to the procedures of sale and purchase of land,” the release stated. Accordingly, the Sub-Committee and authority of ‘B’ Khel cancelled the said land sale deed and treated it null and void and decided not to allow the person to sell the areas of ‘B’ Khel land to anyone, it added. Further, it was warned that if anybody purchases any portion of land within the said area, the ‘B’ Khel authority will not entertain such “invalid sale deed” within ‘B’ Khel.
“Moreover, the sub-committee and the ‘B’ Khel authority shall not allow any person to develop any pocket of land at ‘B’ Khel by putting fencing with pillars without any valid document,” it added.
The press release was signed by TL Angami, Chairman, ‘B’ Khel New Chumukedima; Theja Angami, Convener, 'B' Khel Sub-Committee; Kenei Zatsu, Secretary, ‘B’ Khel Sub-Committee.
