  • Polity and Governance
    www.gradeup.co www.gradeup.co Polity and Governance J&K govt declares actions under Roshni Act 'null and void Why in the news? • The Jammu and Kashmir government has declared the actions taken under the Jammu and Kashmir State Land (Vesting of Ownership to the Occupants) Act, 2001 or 'Roshni Act', as null and void. Reason behind this move • The Act, which was repealed in 2018 by then lieutenant governor Satya Pal Malik, was implemented with the aim of boosting the farming sector and "generating substantial revenue" for funding power projects. • However, the government stated that the Act had "failed to realise the desired objectives and there were also reports of misuse of some its provisions" due to allegations of corruption and an alleged failure to deliver the benefits it had been envisaged for. What is the Roshni Act? • The land-related law, popularly known as the Roshni Act, was brought into force by the Farooq Adbullah government in 2001. • The law aimed to grant ownership rights of public land to occupants. • Reportedly, 15.85 percent of the occupied land was approved for transfer of ownership rights. • The Act also sought the conferment of proprietary rights of around 20.55 lakh kanals of land (1, 2, 50 hectares) to the occupants. • Additionally, legislators hoped the Act would help generate resources to finance power projects. • Farmers who had been occupying State land were also given ownership rights for agricultural use. • The law initially set 1990 as the cut-off year for encroachment on State land, based on which ownership would be granted.

This field game, which dates back 2,000 years, features strongly in Irish mythology. Played by two teams using a wooden "hurley" stick and a small "sliotar" ball. hurling is considered as an intrinsic part of Irish culture and plays a central role in promoting health and wellbeing, inclusiveness and team spirit • Jamaican reggae was also inscribed.
