Hindustan Times-Himachal: Eyeing infra development boost, land pooling policy rolled out
The state government has introduced Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh Development Authority (BBNDA) Land Pooling Policy-2025 to promote organised and sustainable development in the Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh (BBN) area of Solan district. The policy focuses on transforming unorganised land arrangements into systematically planned layouts with active participation from landowners, ensuring better urban planning and infrastructure development without compulsory land acquisition.
Chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, in a statement issued on Thursday, said the policy allows land to be pooled and developed with the cooperation of landowners, facilitating the provision of essential services and planned layouts in the area. Under this policy, the BBNDA will take the lead in development projects across residential, commercial, institutional, mixed-use and infrastructure sectors in urbanisable areas covered under approved development plans.
