Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik will inaugurate the drone survey of slums around 11 am on Thursday in the virtual mode with Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) Mayor Sulochana Das being present at Mahima Nagar in ward no. 9 with slum beneficiaries.

According to sources, a private agency will conduct the survey to identify genuine beneficiaries of land rights among the slum dwellers following which the residents will be given land rights under the ‘Jaga Mission’.

The Urban Slum Household Area (USHA) survey will be conducted in 436 slums in two years that will cover more than one lakh households under BMC limits.

Notably, every landless person occupying land in a slum in the BMC area before the cut-off date (the government is yet to decide), will be eligible for land rights.

“If a person residing in a slum is relocated from a place, he or she will be eligible to get 30 sq metre of land or house. If a person possesses 30 sq metre of land, he can get land rights of a maximum 45 sq metre. If a person has less than 30 sq metre of land, he can get land rights of 30 sq metre,” TOI reported BMC deputy commissioner (housing), Ramesh Jena, as saying.

The land rights will be given to slum residents as per Odisha Land Rights to Slum Dwellers Act-2017 and the Odisha Municipal Corporation (amendment) Act-2022, the BMC official added.

A sub-committee will scrutinise the survey reports thoroughly containing all details of existing slum residents including ration, Adhaar card, land (if any), condition of living, employment, and educational details.

It is pertinent to mention here that as part of the Odisha government’s plan to hand over land ownership deeds to slum-dwellers of 5 cities under the scheme.
