Today’s highly anticipated property card distribution event, part of the government’s Swamitva scheme, has been canceled as a mark of respect to the late Dr. Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister of India. The event was scheduled to take place at 12:30 PM, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi set to distribute property cards to over 50 lakh beneficiaries across the country.
The Swamitva scheme, aimed at empowering rural households by providing them with property rights, was designed as a massive nationwide program. It involved the participation of crores of people, with ministers and officials present in various regions to oversee the distribution process. The event was expected to be a milestone in the government’s efforts to promote rural development and ensure legal recognition of property for millions of citizens.
However, in light of Dr. Manmohan Singh’s passing, the government announced that the distribution would be postponed. This decision comes in response to the national mourning declared following the death of Dr. Singh, who passed away on Thursday night at the age of 92.
In an official statement, the government expressed its deep condolences to Dr. Singh’s family and acknowledged his immense contribution to the nation’s political, economic, and social development. The cancellation of the event underscores the government’s respect for the former Prime Minister, whose legacy continues to shape India’s policies and progress.
As India comes to terms with the loss of one of its most respected leaders, all government events, including the property card distribution under the Swamitva scheme, will be postponed to a later date. The government has also announced a seven-day period of national mourning to honor Dr. Singh’s memory.
Prime Minister Modi, in his tribute to Dr. Singh, praised the former leader for his visionary leadership and profound impact on the nation’s economic and political landscape.
