Thiruvananthapuram | The Kerala cabinet on Wednesday decided to recommend convening a special session of the assembly to the Governor on November 1, which is celebrated as Kerala 'Piravi' day.
Kerala 'Piravi' is the state formation day.
The cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan also decided to grant land titles in forest land regardless of the area of buildings constructed there, a statement issued by his office said.
Under the Kerala Land Assignment Rules of 1993, there are provisions for allocation of land, with the central government's permission, to those who were in possession of forest land before 1977, the cabinet said, according to the statement.
Since, under the Rules, there is a provision for granting land titles to shops on forest land, the cabinet decided to grant the same relief in respect of other constructions also, irrespective of their area, the statement said.
The cabinet also gave administrative approval for the construction of a non-SEZ IT building on 88 cents of land in the Kochi Infopark campus.
