Q. OSATIP Regulation, which was seen in the news recently, is associated with which state?
Answer:
Odisha
Notes: The Naveen Patnaik Government withdrew its decision to amend Orissa Scheduled Areas Transfer of Immovable Property (By Scheduled Tribes) Regulation, 1956 (OSATIP) which would have allowed transfer of tribal land to non-tribals.
The OSATIP not only prohibits the transfer of tribal lands but also criminalizes any forced alienation in scheduled areas. A cabinet held in the middle of winter session of Odisha Legislative Assembly, approved proposal of withdrawing amendment to OSATIP.
