The Himachal Pradesh government has announced to introduce a new land code, which will contain an updated compilation of land-related rules, laws and necessary instructions.
The land code will be introduced by the state revenue department after a gap of 31 years, said chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu in a statement on Friday. The first land code was published in 1992.
“The new code will guide the revenue officers and assist in quick disposal of land-related issues to benefit the common man, who will also get the information regarding the laws and rules of the revenue department and the instructions issued therein from time to time,” said the statement.
