Distinguish the reported action from any further step explicitly stated in the report. The scheme seeks to establish ownership rights over properties within the Lal Lakir, also known as Abadi Deh, through drone-based surveys and preparation of a Record of Rights. These inhabited portions of villages were historically not surveyed or entered in revenue records, leaving families without official documents to establish ownership or property boundaries.
