The Punjab Cabinet led by chief minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday gave in-principle approval to do away with the requirement of no objection certificate (NOC) for the registration of land and property. The sole aim of this decision is to facilitate the general public as the illegal colonisers dupe the people by showing them green pastures and selling their unapproved colonies to them, the government said in its official statement. Speaking to the media after the meeting, minister Aman Arora said the NOC clause will be done away with and further modalities will be worked out.
He said those who have land registries and registered sale agreements up to July 31, 2024, will not require NOC. The cabinet also gave a nod to the ‘Punjab Fire Safety and Emergency Services Bill, 2024’. After coming into force, the owners and occupiers of buildings in Punjab will not have to obtain fire safety certificates annually but every three years.
The cases shall be dealt with per the risk classification of the buildings i.e. low, medium or high risk.
This legislation shall have the provision related to insurance of persons against fire risk and others,” the statement added.
