Study on Poda Land: Regarding the allocation of poda (fallow) land, the minister noted that some of these lands were previously allocated for forest areas, government offices, crematoriums, or public purposes. He stressed the need for a detailed study before granting such lands to ensure they are allocated to active farmers. “If all applications are accepted without scrutiny, the issue could escalate significantly in the future. A study is currently underway, and a decision will be made after the Bagar Hukum process is complete,” he assured.

Gomala Land Issue: Addressing concerns about gomala (grazing) land grants, the minister refuted allegations that decisions were left to district authorities. “Since our government came to power, we have not violated any laws. We have not delegated decisions to district collectors. We are strictly following the law without altering a single word. If any law has been changed, let the members point it out, and we will rectify it,” he stated.
