Assam govt is working on a law to allow land dealings in select revenue circles only between people who have been residents of the state since at least 1951

Similar laws, like one allowing land dealings only within the same category in the case of SCs, STs and OBCs in undivided Goalpara district, will also be brought by the government. Undivided Goalpara district consisted of present-day Goalpara, Dhubri, Bongaigaon, Kokrajhar and South Salmara-Mankachar districts. Such laws will be brought during Mission Basundhara implementation

A new law to protect core agricultural land will also be soon brought by the government
