Project regarding regularization of villages in Sindh under Sindh Gothabad housing schemes?

ANSWER

MAKHDOOM MEHBOOB ZAMAN, MINISTER FOR REVENUE & RELIEF:

 The Sindh Gothabad Housing Scheme Act (SGAS) was introduced in February 1987, with an objective to provide institutional arrangement for undertaking regularization of the villages and confer propriety/ownership rights to the existing occupants as well as shelter-less persons in the rural areas of Sindh.

There are about 66, 923 human rural settlements out of this 36, 566 have been identify under the scheme as per standard definition of the village.

Historically, we have seen that no village side was ever reserved for planned which resulted in the Mashroom and un-planned growth of un-authorized villages on the state Land as well as on the private land under Sindh Gothabad Housing Scheme Act 1987, the Collectors/Deputy Commissioners are working independently and all the records are lying with them including Sanads Books, Challan Books and the all facts/details about the villages. Basically the Collector/Deputy Commissioners are sole responsible of the issuing the Sanads hearing the appeals issuing of sanction orders under the Act 1987, also after the regularization of villages the Deputy Commissioner/Collector shall issue Sanads as per approved list of occupancy.

The Member / Director (Gothabad) are only concerned with rural villages of Entire Sindh Province.

VILLAGES REGULARIZED BEFORE INTRODUCTION OF SINDH GOTHABAD (HOUSING SCHEME) RULES 2008.

Out of 36,566 villages identified in Sindh Province 12,912 villages were regularized leaving 23,654 to be regularized.

 VILLAGES REGULARIZED AFTER INTRODUCTION SINDH GOTHABAD RULES 2008 TILL 28-11-2012.

Unfortunately no rules were framed up to the year 2008, which were mandatory under section 12 of the Act, hence, the Government made Rules there under in the year 2008, which are applicable to date. It was decided that all such villages which are up to the mark and come into the ambit of this rule framed in 2008 shall be regularized.

After introduction of Sindh Gothabad Rules 2008, and constitution of survey committees and allotment committees and on their recommendations there are 1874, villages in rural areas surveyed through Topographical survey in Karachi Malir, West, Hyderabad and Thatta Districts from which 724, villages have been regularized and 1150 villages yet to be regularized and under process.

The above remaining number of villages of rural area is at the final stage of regularization and shall be regularized as per Government policy after lifting the ban, Imposed by Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan vide judgment dated: 28-11-2012, where under the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan restrained on disposal of the any state land.

Due to non-availability of funds under the head of Topographical survey of villages, no survey is being conducted.
