Mangalore : DK District in-charge Minister B Ramanatha Rai has kick-started the Akrama-Sakrama process of regularising the   government land in rural areas where   houses have been constructed unauthorisedly.

Speaking to reporters after   inaugurating the process at the taluk office on Saturday May 31, Rai   said the government aims at ensuring sites   for all people. Continuing, he regretted that   people were encroaching government lands and constructing houses there despite several schemes   offering sites to the eligible beneficiaries.

He said the process will be carried out for two years when over 25000 sites will be regularised.
Additional DC Sadashiva Prabhu said    there are several families in the district which have constructed houses unauthorisedly on government lands. Most of these   dwellers do not enjoy benefits of government schemes as they do not possess title deeds, he added.

As per the amendments made ​​to the Karnataka Land Revenue Regulations 1996,   excluding   CMCs, TMCs and town panchayat limits, the government land where people have constructed houses unauthorisedly will be regularised.

AB Ibrahim, Deputy commissioner, Guruprasad, Tahsildar and other officials were present.
