The Cabinet in its meeting held on the 25th Sep 2008 approved the proposal for Non-Displaced Families residing in the approved colonies.

These non-displaced families, as per decision of the Cabinet on 26/9/2008 shall be regularized by conferring Lease Hold Right only in respect of the homestead plot of land under their effective possession for a period of 99 years on payment of token SALAMI of Re-1/- per annum.
Now, therefore, the undersigned is directed by order of the governor to say that the following guidelines should be strictly observed while implementing the said Cabinet decision regarding reguralisation of the Non-displaced families residing in different approved refugee colonies.
i) Approved colonies belonging to 149/175/607/998/Special Group which are situated exclusively on land belonging to the Refugee Relief & Rehabilitation Department, Government of West Bengal shall be taken up for the purpose of regularization of Non Displaced families as mentioned above.
