(a) whether during 1995 the then Lt. Governor of Andaman and Nicobar Islands announced to allot 10,000 housesites to the homeless persons;
(b) if so, whether all processes have been completed; and
(c) the period of their pendency, the reasons for not making allotment till date and the time by when these allotments are likely to be made?
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES AND PENSIONS (SHRI HARIN PATHAK)
(a): Yes, Sir. However, this announcement was made in 1994.
(b)&(c): In pursuance of the announcement made, the proclamations for allotment of house-sites were duly issued by the Andaman and Nicobar Administration during 1994. However, it has not been found possible to make allotments for various reasons including the non-availability of sufficient land to meet the total requirement and the terms and conditions under which the allotments were proposed to be made being at variance with those laid down under the A&N Islands Land Revenue and Land Reforms Regulation, 1966 under which the proclamations for allotment of house-sites were issued.
