People can apply for regularisation of their unauthorised constructions with certain conditions, said Housing and Urban Development Minister Niranjan Pujari while announcing the scheme here this afternoon.

“The ‘Amnesty Scheme’ or ‘Sarbakhyama Yojana’ intends to give an opportunity to every citizen for regularising unauthorised construction undertaken within the Development area concerned, prior to the date of the commencement of the scheme, by way of compounding on payment of fees at the rates prescribed in the scheme, so as to bring it into the fold of authorised development”, said Pujari.
