In a big relief to the residents of the state, the Punjab government has decided to do away with the clause of a no objection certificate (NOC) for registration of any land and property.

Giving details, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said the decision had been taken in larger public interest to ensure that people did not face inconvenience.

He said the legal mechanism for the decision had already been worked out and details would be shared soon.

Mann said the decision had been taken in due consultation with the public and is aimed solely at ensuring their benefit.

He said the people from both urban and rural areas were facing problems due to non-availability of NOC. This resulted in non-execution of registration of land, thereby creating problems for the common man.

Mann said now this problem would be solved as the requirement for NOC for the registration of land and property had been abolished by the government.
