Lands in actual occupation of the refugee families in each colony alongwith small vacant plots within the colony should be surveyed in the field. Thereafter a Site Plan has to be prepared for each colony on the basis of a revisional settlement map which will be available in the Collector's Record Room of each District. Small vacant plots within the colony will haVe to be shown in the Site Plan. After preparation of the Site Plan a plot schedule showing area of each C. S. Plot and R. S. Khatian No. in which the C. S. Plot is included has to be prepared with reference to Revisional Settlement records. The R.S. records are available with the local 'II Camp Office of the Settlement Department. At the time of verification with settlement records the name of the owner and address may be noted. The C.S. Plot No. and the area as recorded in the R.S. record has to be accepted as correct. In the case of part plot, specific portion of the same with indication of boundary should be noted in the plot schedule.
