Agriculture land

I bought agriculture land jointly with my brother over a decade ago in Uttaranchal. Few years ago I changed to US citizenship but my brother still retains Indian citizenship. I have two questions

1. Can I keep my ownership of the agriculture land since I bought it as a Indian Citizen ? If not, what do I need to do?

2. Due to water shortage no cultivation is being done in the village where the land is. Many of the adjoining agriculture plots were converted to residential land by developers. Can you please inform what is the procedure for agriculture land converting to residential in Uttaranchal? Can I do it myself or need to hire an attormey?

Thanks

You can convert it to a N A plots. It will be better to issue a specific POA limited upto convertion the status of land.

Thank you sir for your prompt response. Much appreciate it. Can you please elaborate what is the process involved in creating NA (non Agriculture ?) plots on an Agriculture land. I am referring to what type of approvals are required. Secondly, what is POA?

Thank you again
