Wave of joy as 371 families in Nagla receive plot titles

371 beneficiary families of Nagla village in Vav-Tharad district have been distributed titles for their residential plots. The programme was held under the chairmanship of District Development Officer Kalpesh Sharma, bringing an end to the long wait of the villagers.

The resettlement process in Nagla village had commenced in 2016-17, but the matter remained stalled for years due to complexities regarding land and administrative approvals. To resolve this issue, Gujarat Legislative Assembly Speaker and Tharad MLA Shankar Chaudhary took a personal interest and ensured continuous follow-up. Owing to his efforts, the state government granted final approval to this scheme on 13/08/2023. Subsequently, the legal procedures were swiftly completed by the administration.

Village Sarpanch Devshi Patel stated that by issuing titles to such a large number of families in a single day, the leadership and the administration have set an inspiring example for the whole of Gujarat. He added that the task of providing shelter to poor families was made possible through the efforts of Shankar Chaudhary. On this occasion, leader Jivraj Patel assured that the process for the remaining beneficiaries would be completed at the earliest and basic amenities such as roads and water would be provided quickly in the resettlement area.

Taluka Development Officer Rajesh Joshi, Sarpanch Devshi Patel, Sardarsinh Vaghela, Hitesh Patel, along with other local leaders and administrative officers, were present in large numbers on the occasion.

Shankar Chaudhary is the Speaker of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly and the MLA of Tharad.
