Bengaluru: In a move that will directly impact land transactions, Revenue Minister R. Ashoka yesterday said in Bengaluru that the State Government will tweak the existing laws to allow converting agricultural plots for non-agricultural use in 72 hours.
The order to this effect will be issued next week. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru yesterday, Ashoka said the new scheme is aimed at preventing unnecessary hassles faced by landowners and also putting an end to corrupt practices by Government officers at various levels. Now people who bought land have to wait six to eight months for conversion, he said.
