Land Reforms

Himachal Pradesh's Revenue Department is reviewing over 300 cases of violations under Section 118 of the Tenancy and Land Reforms Act—which restricts agricultural land sales to non-agriculturists without government approval—from January 2023 to January 2026. This includes the ongoing Chester Hills housing project controversy in Solan. Revenue Minister Jagat Singh Negi has directed districts for status reports, with official data showing 849 of 2,354 applications still pending.
