Subsequently, the BJP Government, during its rule in -2012, reduced the upper limit to 250 square meter (1. drain) turned. Since then this limit has been set for outsiders to buy land in the hills. If anyone wants to buy more land in the hills and rural areas, then permission has to be taken from the state and district authorities. However, there is no such restriction in the pockets that come under the jurisdiction of the municipal bodies. Sources said the new provision, which the government is planning to implement, will not have any bearing on the size of the land being bought by an outsider. He claimed that the change would be made only to deter suspicious persons from buying property in the Himalayan state.
