The government is preparing a new land allocation scheme aimed at assisting families left homeless by natural calamities across Jammu and Kashmir.

The Incharge Revenue minister in a written statement reply to a question by MLA Hilal Akar Lone stated that it working on a detailed plan to provide plots of state land to those who have lost their homes and property in disasters such as floods, landslides, earthquakes, and cloudbursts.
The MLA had sought details on rehabilitation measures for landless families affected by repeated natural calamities.
As per the government reply, each eligible family will be granted a 5-marla plot on a lease basis, with the land strictly meant for the construction of residential houses.
The government said the scheme is being designed to ensure that disaster-hit households receive stable shelter rather than temporary relief assistance.
“The government is working toward a sustainable rehabilitation model that offers long-term security to families impacted by natural disasters,” the government stated.
It noted that the draft proposal is currently being examined by various departments to finalize the modalities, including eligibility criteria, identification of suitable land, and coordination with the Disaster Management Authority.
Once cleared, the plan is expected to benefit a significant number of displaced families, particularly in regions frequently affected by floods and landslides.
