Kurnool Launches Drive to Regularise Unauthorized Constructions
The Kurnool Municipal Corporation is starting a special program to help people who built houses or layouts without permission.
This program is called the Building Penalisation Scheme (BPS) and the Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS).
The BPS helps buildings that were built between 1985 and 2025, but not on special lands like government areas or water bodies.
People have to pay a fee, but there are discounts for old buildings and slum areas.
The LRS helps layouts and plots that were made before 2025.
The goal is to make sure everything is legal and safe.
The officials are going door-to-door to tell people about this program and ask them to apply before the deadline.
Kurnool Municipal Corporation launches a special drive to regularise unauthorized buildings and layouts under BPS–2025 and LRS–2020.
Buildings constructed between January 1, 1985, and August 31, 2025, are eligible for regularisation under BPS–2025.
Applicants must pay a minimum advance fee of ₹10,000, with concessions for old buildings and slum localities.
Layouts and plots formed before June 30, 2025, qualify for regularisation under LRS–2020.
The drive aims to promote orderly urban development, enhance public safety, and bring unauthorized structures into the legal framework.
