Thiruvananthapuram: Local self-govt minister M B Rajesh has announced concessions for small houses built on land up to two cents in municipal and corporation areas. He said that for houses up to 100 square meters (1,076sq ft) built on land up to two cents within corporation or municipal limits, if the road in front is up to 3m, the frontage setback will be reduced to 1m through an amendment in the rules. This concession will be granted to those families who have no other suitable land for residential purposes, subject to conditions.
Previously, the front setback from the road was set at 2m for larger plots and 1.8m for plots below 3 cents. The decision has been taken to amend KMBR 2019 Rule 26(4), 28(3) to provide this concession.
The minister said this will benefit thousands of families across the state. This rule amendment will be beneficial for those who have not received a house number yet for small houses built on small plots in cities. The minister said that the govt’s aim is to transform the local self-govt system to be so efficient that adalats are not needed for pending complaints.
He was speaking at the inauguration of the Thiruvananthapuram corporation-level local adalat. Adalats are held when complaints remain unresolved in local self-govt institutions. Through the current local adalats, all legally resolvable complaints will be addressed.
After this, the system will be made efficient enough to eliminate the need for adalats. The movement of files will be made transparent, giving people the opportunity to understand it. Legally valid complaints will be resolved through adalats, and orders will be issued within the legal framework.
The minister said that 90% of complaints were resolved in the seven adalats completed so far.
