The Haryana Cabinet, under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, has approved a proposal by the Development and Panchayats Department to allocate a 200-square-yard plot from shamilat deh land to Smt. Kamlesh Sharma, wife of Shaheed Sub-Inspector Sh. Jai Bhagwan. The late Sub-Inspector, a resident of Village Hirapur in Block Ballabgarh, District Faridabad, sacrificed his life during a counter-insurgency operation on December 12, 1995.
Smt. Kamlesh Sharma, who currently does not have residential accommodation, will receive the plot as a token of respect and support for her family. This decision aligns with Rule 13 of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Rules, 1964, which allows a Gram Panchayat, with prior approval from the State Government, to gift up to 200 square yards of shamilat deh land for residential purposes.
This provision specifically benefits members of defense and paramilitary forces who are seriously injured and rendered handicapped, or the dependent families of those martyred in wars or counter-insurgency operations, provided they lack adequate residential accommodation.
