¶ 01 As stated, the authority lies with the District Secretary. After land is given for NHDA projects, granting title is a lengthy process; sometimes beneficiaries are given up to 30 years to complete payments, after which deeds can be issued. Many deeds are being processed at present. For this specific case, neither NHDA nor our Ministry can act. It is best if the matter is discussed and decided at the District Development Committee.
