These refugees will get ownership of land, CM Yogi announced:

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s government has given great relief to Rohingya and Bangladeshi Refugees from Rohingya and Bangladesh living in the state. The state government has decided that except for illegal refugees in West Bengal, those who have been living in Uttar Pradesh for years and they do not have the ownership of land for various reasons, they will now be given ownership of land. The purview of this decision includes Afghan refugees and Bangladeshi refugees.

Recently, a debate was made by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) office at Ghaziabad Ghaziabad to visit a camp of Rohingya refugees and give them benefits under various government schemes. However, the state government has clarified that Bangladeshi refugees living illegally will not get any benefit.

According to the instructions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, this decision targets refugees who have already been living in camps in various districts of Uttar Pradesh, such as Ghaziabad, Meerut, Noida and other areas for years. These people will be identified on the basis of nationality and their background.

What are the main points of this decision?

This step is considered by the UP government to bring refugees into the mainstream and ensure their welfare, although it will require more explanation in view of the political debates related to Rohingya refugees.
