GOVT EXTENDS SPECIAL RELIEF PACKAGE TO DISASTER-HIT AREAS IN STATE

SHIMLA: Acting on the recommendations by a cabinet sub-committee led by industries minister Harshwardhan Singh, the cabinet on Thursday asked the authorities to release a notification regarding the homestay rules.

The sub-committee was formed to look into all the issues concerning the illegal mushrooming of homestays in the state.

The rules aim to check the illegal homestays operating in the state, with a special focus on those units that are operating in violation of Section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972.

The act restricts the transfer of land to non-agriculturists in the state and this section was enacted to protect the interests of residents while also allowing for the state's development.

The decision was taken during a cabinet meeting chaired by chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu.
