Subsequently, the issue of granting ownership rights to the residents of the settlements outside the Tata Lease area, the settlements that remained within the Tata Lease area and the settlements on Government land outside and within the Tata Lease area has also not been resolved by the Government so far.

As a result, the residents of Jamshedpur are facing difficulties due to mutual disputes, non-availability of public facilities and non-availability of holding numbers of buildings built on such plots, they are finding it difficult to live and their fundamental rights are being violated,” Roy said in a release as having raised the issue in the assembly.

While requesting the Government to give a concrete statement on this subject in the  House, I want to inform this to the House with the hope that the Government will work to solve the problems of similar nature in the same administrative unit,” the release stated Roy as having raised in the assembly.
