Bengaluru : Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) is set to place a range of citizen-centric initiatives and major infrastructure projects before chief minister DK Shivakumar at a review meeting Monday, with decisions expected on property regularisation, pending sale deed registrations and key urban development works.
Under Section 38(D) of Bangalore Development Authority Act, 1976, eligible occupants of houses constructed before July 10, 2008, on BDA-acquired land can seek regularisation through re-allotment, subject to prescribed conditions. Another proposal expected to be taken up is an Absolute Sale Deed Mela to help nearly 20,000 BDA site allottees, who have not completed registration of their absolute sale deeds despite the expiry of their 10-year lease periods. BDA has proposed inviting applications from such allottees by Dec 17 and facilitating registration within 60 days of receiving them, subject to applicable rules. The review meeting will also cover the proposed 2.2km twin tunnels between Hebbal junction and Veterinary College; a 1.8km elevated corridor connecting UAS Quarters and Mehkri Circle; and the proposed 2.3km Goraguntepalya underpass to connect NSIT Bengaluru and BEI Circle. The proposal is at the preliminary evaluation stage, and its integration with Metro Phase 3 infrastructure is also under review.
The mela is expected to be organised after the application process, with details of the arrangements to be announced separately. The provision applies to properties on land covered by a final acquisition notification and an approved acquisition award.
