General202216 sections4 chapters

This Act regulates the legal ownership rights of slum dwellers who reside on government land in urban areas, specifically benefiting Himachali landless individuals. It establishes procedures to confer proprietary rights, converting temporary residences into legal property titles. The legislation further mandates the redevelopment of these settlements to provide essential civic services such as clean water, sanitation, and drainage. By securely establishing ownership and upgrading living conditions, the Act addresses housing insecurity, protects the rights of marginalized communities, and encourages organized urban development within the state.
