According to the municipality, 73 individuals in Ward No. 1, 49 in Ward No. 7, and 139 in Ward No. 9 were given land ownership certificates. Local residents, who had been occupying the land for a long time but faced various problems due to the lack of legal ownership proof, expressed happiness upon receiving the Lalpurja.
An 80-year-old local resident, Madhura Kurmini, who received the Lalpurja, said she was happy to receive documents proving ownership of her land in the later stage of her life. Stating that the hope of receiving a certificate for the land she had been occupying for a long time has been fulfilled, she said, “I have been living and occupying this land for years, but I didn't have a certificate in my name. Now, even in old age, I am very happy to receive the Lalpurja. Now I have proof in hand that my land is my own.”
