Keralam govt. forms five-member panel for land reforms

The Keralam government has issued an order appointing a five-member expert committee to bring about comprehensive changes in land reforms against the backdrop of a long-standing demand of farmers and the announcement made in the State Budget.

The committee, led by former Land Revenue Commissioner A.T. James, has been tasked with reforming laws riddled with hurdles. It will re-examine in detail land laws so that outdated and complex land laws can be changed in tune with the times.
