Attempts will be made to locate all courts situated in Dehradun in one campus. The chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said this while addressing a virtual rally of the Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad (ABAP) Uttarakhand, here on Saturday.

Learning about the thoughts and suggestions of advocates associated with ABAP Uttarakhand, Rawat said that orders had been issued in the state to place government orders and acts in the public domain before they are finalised so that maximum public suggestions can be received and so that the same can be implemented with practicality. He further said that an attempt will be made to have all the courts situated in Dehradun in one premises.

Referring to voluntary land consolidation, he said that attempts had been made from his level in the past too for this. The hindrances in implementation of voluntary land consolidation will be removed.

Practical problems are being faced in this in mountainous regions due to Gol Khata system but once it is implemented, it will be a revolutionary step for the state. Such voluntary land consolidation will also help in better utilisation of land. Asking the advocates to give their suggestions on this issue, he said that this would be a big contribution of the lawyers in the interests of the state.

Rawat further said that the suggestions of lawyers will also be helpful in resolving issues in the border regions.

The state is third in literacy rate after Kerala and Delhi. Stating that the literacy rate of Uttarakhand is currently 86 per cent, he invited the advocates to help in efforts aimed at raising this to 95 per cent. He solicited similar cooperation for tackling the problem of malnutrition in children.
