The West Bengal Government has planned to amend the Thika Tenancy Act, where a tenant can build a structure as per floor area ration norms. This has the potential to unlock over 2,500 acre of solid real estate in Kolkata and Howrah for redevelopment. The state cabinet has decided to do away with the G + 2 (9.5 m) bar on structures built on such lands, which will pave the way for development.  Contact: Subrata Gupta, Principal Secretary, West Bengal Government. Address: Nagarayan, Sector-I, Block DF-8, Bidhan Nagar, Kolkata-700 064.Tel: 033-2334 9394.E-mail: secy.ma-wb@gov.in Website: www.wburbandev.gov.in
