  • 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 Reason behind this move • The Act, which was repealed in 2018 by then lieutenant governor Satya Pal Malik, was implemented with the aim of boosting the farming sector and "generating substantial revenue" for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.

  • China's Regional Transport Dominance
    J. Geogr. Sci. 2010, 20(2): 295-309 DOI: 10.1007/s11442-010-0295-6 © 2010 Science in China Press Springer-Verlag China’s regional transport dominance: Density, proximity, and accessibility JIN Fengjun, WANG Chengjin, LI Xiuwei, WANG Jiao’e Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, CAS, Beijing 100101, China Abstract: Transport infrastructure plays an important role in shaping the configuration of spa- tial socio-economic structures and influences regional accessibility. This paper defines transport dominance from three aspects: quality, quantity, and advantage, measured by den- sity, proximity, and accessibility indices. County is the basic unit for analysis. The results reveal: (1) Transport dominance statistically follows a partial normal distribution. A very few counties, 1.4% of the total, have extremely high transport dominance which strongly supports the socio-economic development in these areas. In contrast, one eighth of all counties have poor transport dominance which impedes local socio-economic development to some extent. The remaining areas, about 70% of the counties, have median transport dominance. (2) Transport dominance is spatially unevenly distributed, with values decreasing gradually from the coastal area to the inland area. Areas in the first-highest level of transport dominance are mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta, the Greater Beijing area, and the Pearl River Delta. Areas in the second-highest level are focused in Chengdu, Chongqing, and Wuhan metropolitan areas. Provincial capitals and a few other counties belong to the third-highest level. Keywords: transport dominance; density; proximity; accessibility; China 1 Introduction Transport, which guides and supports the socio-economic development, is an important in- dicator to evaluate the development conditions for a region.
