Kerala government’s target to distribute 2 lakh deeds to all beneficiaries to be a reality by the end of the year

The Revenue Department has cleared a majority of applications it had received from eligible persons for title deeds under the State government’s special campaign. All the newly cleared 1,739 title deeds will be distributed at a district-level Pattaya Mela to be held on September 14. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will open the event through videoconferencing. There will be separate events to facilitate simultaneous distribution of cleared deeds in Kozhikode, Koyilandy and Vadakara taluks. According to officials, COVID-19 protocol will be strictly followed at the events. It will be the second district-level title deed distribution fair in Kozhikode this year. In the first drive on February 15, the department distributed 1,300 deeds. There were even people who had been waiting for the documents for over 20 years. The applications which were set apart for various technical reasons last time were also considered for the latest fair.
