Overview

• PDP MLAs have submitted the Jammu and Kashmir Land Rights and Regularisation Bill, 2025, to the Assembly Secretariat for consideration in the upcoming session.
• The proposal would grant ownership to individuals, families and institutions in continuous possession of land for over 30 years while blocking arbitrary evictions.
• PDP says the 2022 Land Grant Rules ended renewals of old leases, leaving many properties on expired terms exposed to eviction or government takeover.
• Nearly 60 Gulmarg hotels, including heritage properties Nedous and Highlands Park, have received takeover notices from the Gulmarg Development Authority, according to the party.
• Mehbooba Mufti criticized the government’s inaction on lease policy and offered PDP support for any official bill that safeguards land rights.
