GUWAHATI, Dec 5: In a significant development, the Assam chief minister on Tuesday said that Mission Basundhara 3.0, aimed at revisiting cases that were not approved under Mission Basundhara 2.0, said an official statement.
The chief minister said the same during a review meeting with district commissioners (DCs) of the state’s districts held at the Lok Sewa Bhawan in Assam Secretariat Complex.
“Those cases that would be left out of Mission Basundhara 2.0 shall be reconsidered once Mission Basundhara 3.0 is launched,” the statement quoted Sarma as saying.
Sarma took stock of the progresses on Mission Basundhara 2.0, the preparation of ration cards for beneficiaries under the National Food Security Act and also discussed the ongoing Khel Maharan and Sanskritik Mahasangram programmes in the district.
Sarma also instructed the district commissioners to see that necessary works related to Mission Basundhara 2.0 are completed at the earliest so that beneficiaries of the same can be provided with legal land documents such as patta at the earliest possible time.
Besides this, the chief minister further directed district commissioners (DCs) to crack down land sale deed forgery with all force.
“There were discussions regarding measures needed to be taken to prevent land documentation forgery that was recently uncovered in the Kamrup Metropolitan district in an investigation by the Guwahati Police Commissionerate,” the statement added.
Speaking on the National Food Security Act (NFSA), Sarma directed the DCs to expedite the process of ration card preparation for the additional 40 lakh beneficiaries that have been added under the NFSA.
Taking stock of the ongoing Khel Maharan and Sanskritik Mahasangram events which are being organised in the districts, ordered DC’s to see that the participants are provided with necessary support, especially with regards to injuries, if any, during their participations.
He exuded confidence these events would provide a potent platform to youths across the state to showcase their talents.
