Minister of income K. Rajan tried to alleviate concerns about construction on the land for which the title list was issued in 1964 and added that the rules that allow construction will soon be issued.
On Wednesday, the Government declared the rules for implementing legislation 2023, which seeks to grant unlimited rights to use land.
The rules provide a wide framework for the rapid implementation of the Land Assignment Act (amendment) in Kerala, 2023. The law seizes the government to regulate the violation of land use over the decades and liberate settlers from undesirable dispute, red tape and government action.
The new rules legalize the breach of construction until June 7, 2024.
The original law of the 1960s frowned on the use of land for any living or commercial purposes other than agriculture or housing. Subsequently, the Assembly unanimously changed the law.
“The aim of the government is to regulate the construction industry by imposing a fee. However, a ban on iDukki will continue. The government announced that Idukki has solved land -related problems by framing the rules of land stoking, but could not solve this problem,” says Fr. JINS KAKATTA, Director of the Media Commission IDUKKI diocese.
Rajan says the government has decided to create two rules of partitions 4a (1) and (A2) to solve soil -related problems in IDUKKI. “Section 4a (1) facilitates the regularization of buildings on the land with the title documents and section 4a (2) is to provide permission for construction. The rules for section 4a (2) will soon be created,” he says.
“The controlled regularization of buildings can be completed by simple steps. The government ordered that no regularization request should be rejected,” says Mr. Rajan.
Rasak Choravelil, the Idukki Land Freedom Movement Conference, says the government can easily include rules allowing unlimited land use according to the changed rules. He says that the new rules on the legalization of the breach of the building have been focused on the collection of money in the robe of regularization.
Meanwhile, the General Secretary of the District Congress Idukki Bijo Mani says there are still land problems in the district. “According to the new rules, people could regulate their homes and shops by paying a fee. However, the buildings were carried out after all sanctions from local authorities,” he said.
