Kerala Govt Amends Rules for Small Houses in Urban Areas
• The Kerala government has announced concessions for small houses built on land up to two cents in municipal and corporation areas, reducing the frontage setback to 1 meter for houses up to 100 square meters.
• This amendment aims to benefit families with no other suitable land for residential purposes and will be particularly helpful for those who haven't received a house number for small houses built on small plots in cities.
• The government also plans to transform the local self-government system to efficiently resolve complaints, with a focus on transparency and addressing legally valid complaints through adalats.
