Former Union minister <g data-gr-id="14">S S</g> Ahluwalia is likely to be the chairman of the Joint Committee of Parliament that will go into the provisions of the controversial land bill.

Parliament sources said the BJP member from Darjeeling in West Bengal is the most likely choice to head the 30-member joint panel.
