GUWAHATI, June 25 � The State government will soon adopt a land policy for the entire State, and a committee will be formed to frame the policy.

In an official statement, Chief Minister Traun Gogoi said that the government would soon frame a land policy for the State incorporating various issues relating to land settlement to landless people, poor marginalized sections, and those affected by flood and erosion.
