Chandigarh, June 2 -- In a move aimed at empowering Punjab's farmers, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has decided to unveil a 'land pooling policy' towards curbing the activities of the land mafia.
The policy, as articulated by AAP Kisan Wing President and MLA Jagtar Singh, promises to transform the lives of farmers by ensuring direct and substantial financial benefits.
He said under the policy, a farmer contributing one acre of land to the government would receive a residential plot of approximately 1,000 sq. yards and a commercial plot of 200 sq. yards in return. The government will enhance the land with modern infrastructure, including roads, electricity, water connections, sewage systems, street lights and parks.
