According to Hale Vash, today, Thursday, January 17, 1403, the plan to transfer confiscated lands and natural resources in the villages of Siadak, Sefidak, Manzlab, and Lakhshak by the Sistan and Baluchestan Governorate to non-native employees has become controversial and has raised concerns among local people. The plan, which was initiated by the previous government, is said to be aimed at providing housing for non-native employees, but some critics see it as a move with widespread social and cultural consequences for the region.
Based on current source information:
• Last year, Siadak lands were transferred to some institutions for 60 million Tomans per plot.
• This year, it has been decided that each plot of land will be given to two people at a price of 120 million Tomans.
• For dry lands, a provisional amount of 120 million tomans was anticipated, but recently the Provincial Housing Cooperative announced that each person must pay 360 million tomans for these lands.
The provincial housing cooperative has announced that these amounts will be received in three-year installments of 10 million tomans per month. This is while many employees have resorted to selling cars, gold, or receiving facilities to pay the initial amounts.
Some local people see this plan as a change in the demographic and traditional fabric of the region and believe that the transfer of land to non-natives could lead to marginalization and reduced opportunities for local people to live and work. These concerns are especially serious in areas such as Siadak and Lakhshak, which are more sensitive due to their geographical location.
