Bhubaneswar, Nov 24 : Severe backlash over the Cabinet decision regarding conditional transfer of tribal lands to non-tribals has pushed the Odisha government on the back foot, forcing it to recommend the matter to the Tribes Advisory Council (TAC) for reconsideration of the proposal.
The decision has been taken in the Cabinet committee meeting held under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik here on Friday.
“Following the approval of the Tribes Advisory Council on July 11, 2023, a proposal was passed by the state Cabinet on November 14 to make amendments in the Odisha Scheduled Areas Transfer of Immovable Property (By Scheduled Tribes) Regulation, 1956.
"In today’s meeting, the Cabinet after reviewing the said proposal has recommended the matter to the Tribes Advisory Council for a detailed relook,” Parliamentary Affairs Minister Niranjan Pujariri informed the Assembly on Friday.
