"The issue pertaining to how to construct houses would be under the purview of the Panchayat Raj and Municipal Acts. Nala conversion would be done free of cost for houses and other properties under the Gram Panchayats and Municipalities jurisdiction. Sarpanches, MPTCs, Village secretaries, Mayors, Municipal Chairmen, Councillors, staff should cooperate to exempt houses constructed at the agriculture wells from the agriculture category. MPOs should monitor this," he said.

"Register details about every house in the villages and municipalities online, allocate a house number, collect tax, and change naala conversion under the non-agriculture category. The Panchayat Raj and Municipal officials should ensure cent per cent registration of all the properties," he added.
