Demand for rights, dignity for rural residents
The body said villagers and farmers in Delhi have long been deprived of ownership rights and urged the government to take an early decision to ensure dignity and development in rural areas. Among its demands, the Sangh has sought full ownership rights for Lal Dora areas, expansion of such zones, exemption from house tax and conversion charges, and removal of building by-laws in villages.
