Sub : Revocation of allotment of homestead plots in G.S. Colonies – Delegation of
powers therefore.
Sir
Allotment of homestead plots to eligible Displaced Persons Have been going on since earliest phase of rehabilitation in the state of West Bengal. The intention of the Government in the R.R.&R. Department is that such allottees shall construct dwelling houses on such plots of land as allotted to them. Reports have however been reaching the Government that a sizeable number of such plots remain unutilised for quiet long length of time. This is against the spirit of rehabilitation for want of suitable plots of lands. Many Displaced Persons, otherwise deserving, can not be offered suitable homestead plots of land.
2. The Government in the R.R.&R. Department feel that such unutilised homestead plots of land should immediately be taken over by the government by revoking the earlier allotments.
3. Till now the power of such revocation rests with the RR Commissioner, West Bengal Only. This centralisation of power in only one officer at the state Head Quarter tends to delay things. The Government in the RR department therefore are of the opinion that with immediate effect the RR Commissioner, West Bengal and Secretary to the Government of West Bengal, RR&R Department delegates such powers of Revocation to the various District Magistrates/Deputy Commissioners and Sub-Divisional Officers in the District And Sub-Divisions of West Bengal for the sake of expeditious and quicken disposal of matters relating to revocation of allotment of homestead plots in the G.S. colonies in West Bengal.
4. This order shall take immediate effect.
