Composite resale proposals are envisaged for the holdings referred to and for other properties recently acquired or about to be acquired in this district with a view to the formulation of a comprehensive scheme of land settlement. It is expected that a considerable amount of rearrangement will be undertaken— and the necessary inquiries on the ground are being pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
I might add that an area of 70 acres in this district was allotted last month to local smallholders.
