Agartala, Nov 28: An in-depth survey has started in northeastern state of Tripura to know the status of plots exchanged between the people of the state and erstwhile East Pakistan (currently Bangladesh) before and after the Partition in 1947.
It might be noted that large number of people on both sides of the international border had mutually exchanged properties during that period. The exchange had taken place mainly between Hindus seeking to come to India and Muslims who sought to settle in Pakistan.
“Once the list of unregistered plots is compiled, the state government will send it to the Centre. We will act according to the directive of the Ministry of Home Affairs,” an official said.
Pradip Datta Bhoumik of Bagma in Gomati district is one person whose exchanged land was not registered.
According to records, Sepahijala is the district with the highest number of exchanged plots at 2229.
“No one will be evicted from the exchanged land. I hope there will be a policy decision on the exchanged land properties which were not registered,” an official said.
