HYDERABAD: Opposition parties such as Congress, BJP and the Left found fault with the timing of the layout regularisation scheme (
LRS
) even as several organisations took out protest rallies in the state demanding reduction in penalisation charges.
Congress says the government should penalise the developers of unauthorised layouts and not the individual plot owners.
“Make developers pay for development of roads, green space, sewerage network, water tank and other amenities in the layout, if it has been developed without these mandatory facilities or lack of them,” said
M Kodanda Reddy
of the Congress, former chairman of Hyderabad Urban Development Authority.
He said the timing of the LRS is wrong, in view of the economic crisis due to the
pandemic
.
“We reject this LRS in its present form. It is not only untimely but also unwarranted... when the people are suffering from lack of income,” BJP spokesperson Krishna Sagar Rao said.
