BbMp: Cancellation of 'A' Khata for one lakh property!

BBMP to Regular Enrollment; Punishment for illegality of A Khata

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

BENGALURU: A preliminary investigation by the 'Scrutiny Committee' has revealed that 'A' Khatas have been issued despite not being eligible under BBMP, and it is estimated that around one lakh 'A' Khatas may have been illegally registered in 243 wards.

 Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath has formed a 'Scrutiny Committee' to review all the accounts in the wake of complaints that 'A' Khatas were made illegally in the city. Thousands of irregularities were discovered in the initial investigation of this committee.

 In order to Khata for a property under BBMP coverage, certain fees and documents are required including development fee. But without considering this the Assistant Revenue Officers (ARO) entered the property information in 'A' register. But the fees have not been paid to the corporation.

 It is known that the new properties have been entered in the register as sub-numbers among the properties previously entered in the 'A' Khata. For example, if 31 and 32 are Khata entries of different assets, then a new Khata is made as 31/1 in between. It is meant to be treated as an old registration. Only 3 or 4 property information is recorded on one page of the register. However, on some pages, a different property has been entered as a sub-number using the space between.

 In some 'A' registers only the owner's name, Khata number is entered and no order is given as per clause. Further, if a person's name is entered in multiple pages of the same register, an 'A' Khata is given. All these have sub-no. Sources said that more irregularities will come to light if the registers are thoroughly scrutinized.

 Cancellation of Illegal A Khata

Illegality of 'A' Khatas is being checked. If there is no document as per our rules including land conversion and development fee, the 'A' Khata of such property will be cancelled," said Jayaram Raipur, chairman of the 'Scrutiny Committee'.

 In 15 days, the process of verifying all the documents will be completed. Later, how many illegal Khatas there are will be revealed.

 800 illegal in Anjanpur division!

 Anjanapur sub-division of Bommanahalli zone of BBMP covers less properties. More than 800 Khatas have been illegally registered in the 'A' register in the two wards here, it has emerged from the preliminary investigation of the 'Scrutiny Committee'. All of them are being seized and examined by the BBMP committee. It was earlier estimated to be illegal only in the new five zones. But since there are complaints everywhere, the committee has decided to conduct inspection in all 243 wards.

 One week deadline: Jairam Raipur

The Assistant Revenue Officers (AROs) of all divisions should provide the information about illegal 'A' Khatas under BBMP within a week. They have all kinds of information. If they don't provide information, criminal cases will be registered against the respective AROs when the investigation is carried out by the committee,' said Jairam Raipur, Special Commissioner of Finance, who is the chairman of the 'Scrutiny Committee'.

BBMP: Rajakaluve encroachment removal Overdue

Rajakaluve- No order from Tehsildar; Ready to vacate from March 10- BBMP

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್‌

BENGALURU: The State government and BBMP are spending hundreds of crores of rupees to control situations like rain water control or floods. However, due to heavy rains, Rajakaluve has been postponing the clearance of  encroachment.

In 2022, the city saw the highest rainfall of 1,958 mm, and the Government and BBMP have announced some plans to deal with the situation without any problem. Re-designing of Rajakaluve, including box concrete and embankment of lakes are planned to control water flow. Not only this, the World Bank has also planned to prevent climate change at a cost of ₹ 3 thousand crore. But no one is talking about the relief of Rajakaluve  encroachment.

Due to the encroachment of the Rajakaluve, there was a flood-like situation in the city, the eastern areas were submerged. This was also accepted by the Government and BBMP. However, the encroachment clearance work has not started comprehensively even after six months.

The Rajakaluve under the jurisdiction of BBMP have been affected in 485 cases. BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath had said in a meeting between the District Commissioner and the Tahsildar that February 15 is the last day for the Tahsildar to issue an order to vacate them. But even after this deadline, no order has come out. For a couple of days after such a meeting, a couple of places are cleared on a small scale. Then everything goes quiet.

Negligence of the authorities: 

'BBMP says that there is no Rajakaluve encroachment in the south zone of Bengaluru. But the authorities have hidden the encroachment there', complained Deepak, a resident of Jayanagar.

Rajarajeshwari Nagar is rich in Rajakalves in many ways. Gopal, a resident of Halagevaderahalli, alleged that despite sending pictures of the houses being constructed and complaining to the authorities including Basavaraja Kabade, Chief Engineer of the Rajakaluve Division, no action is being taken.

50% order pending:

In 50% cases where  encroachment  has been identified, an order is due from the Tahsildar. The delay was due to transfer of Tahsildars. However, it has been suggested to vacate all encroachments by March 15. The eviction notice is being issued by March 10,' said BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath.

No removal if there is no problem: Tushar Girinath

In many cases of the city, BDA, BBMP, etc., there are many types of  encroachment on the public. In some cases, even though the original revenue record map of Rajakaluve are encroachment, there is no problem as there is an alternative canals. Evacuating hundreds of houses in those encroachments will do no good. Such cases will be brought to the notice of the High Court and will be proceeded with according to the order," said BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath.

Zonal Commissioners have been instructed to identify encroachments within their jurisdiction. The Joint Commissioner has been ordered to inspect the site and give a report as to which encroachment removal is not beneficial. He said that there is no need to codify such zonal reports and clear any encroachments before the High Court.

BBMp: Addition of 21 lakes to pollution list

 47 lakes developed at a cost of crores by BBMP, BDA are dirty; Dirt from BWSSB

 Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bengaluru: The lakes developed at the cost of crores of rupees by BBMP and BDA have become polluted sites due to the negligence of BWSSB and lack of monitoring by the State Pollution Control Board. As many as 21 lakes have the highest level (grade) of pollution in January itself.

The State Pollution Control Board has installed sensor measurements to measure water quality in 106 lakes in the city. According to it, the water quality of total 47 lakes is in the extreme 'E' grade. That is, the waters of these lakes are highly contaminated with metal, sludge and industrial pollution. It is not worth raising fish.

This is the condition of the lakes developed by BBMP and BDA. At least ₹5 crore has been spent on each lake. The pollution control board data itself proves that the lake has polluted water and what kind of development and pollution prevention works have been done.

Water Act not followed: 

As per the Water Act-1974, it is the responsibility of the State Pollution Control Board to take action to control all types of pollution. But, this function is not being done. They don't even give information to people. Ramprasad of Friends of Lake complained that the work is not being done.

When attempts were made to contact environmental officials, including the Chairman of the Pollution Control Board, they did not respond.

Quality is everything: 

A lake means the quality of the water in it is important. Apart from that, developing something will not be beneficial. Raghavendra B. of Action Aid said, "If the water is contaminated, the environment will be damaged, even after spending crores of rupees and making paths and tracks." Pacchapur expressed concern.

 Sewage water pollution

Sewage water is flowing into lakes. BWSSB has been told many times to stop this. They say there is no money to lay a new pipeline. If they stop the discharge of sewage water into the lake, the lakes will become pollution-free,” said Vijayakumar Haridas, Chief Engineer, BBMP Lakes Division.

 Lakes in 'E' grade of pollution

 Singhasandra, Parappana Agrahara Lake, Haralur, Rampur, Vibhutipur, Kammasandra, Rayasandra, Halasura, Halasura Lake (near Devasthan), Bairasandra, Gangondanahalli, Kachohalli, Machohalli, Doddabidarakallu, Shivpura Lake, Jakkuru, Amritahalli, Chellakare, Rachenahalli Lake, Singapore Lake, Bellandur Lake, Bhattanahalli, Elemallappa Lake, Kempambudhi, Nagawara Lake.

Sankey flyover between wants and don't wants

Unrelenting BBMP; Local residents who are not allowed

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bengaluru: BBMP has started work on Sankey Road saying that flyover should be constructed to ease traffic congestion, for which the lake area will also be widened. The local residents are explaining with examples that the construction of the flyover will not make the traffic smooth, instead it will increase. However, BBMP, which is supposed to provide services to the citizens, is not asking...

The widening of the road above the city's prestigious Sanki lake and the construction of a flyover in addition to that work has been the subject of intense controversy. The local residents as 'Sankey Kere Tanda' (Citizens for Sankey) are saying no to this flyover and road extension. They are doing protest, rally every day. However, BBMP is saying that they will finish by building the flyover without giving up. The question has arisen as to what is the motive behind the corporation forgetting the courtesy of protecting the citizens and checking their demands and demands.

More than 50 heritage trees will be felled during construction of Sankey Road flyover. This causes the heritage trees to be uprooted. Traffic congestion will not be relieved by construction of flyover. Therefore, more than 25 thousand people have digitally signed and supported the signature movement organized by the Jhatka.org organization demanding 'no flyover'. However, BBMP says that some people want the flyover. The backers have not been disclosed.

'Bottleneck' on six sides from the flyover!

Construction of a flyover on Sankey Road will create a traffic 'bottleneck' (as shown on the map) at six locations. In addition to this, four ramps will come up at Sadashivanagar 13th road junction from Vaiyalikaval below the proposed flyover, which will cause more traffic congestion here.

What does the 'Sankey Kere Tanda' say?

If the flyover is constructed, the traffic will increase from day one. The area of ​​Sankey Lake is also reduced and there is a risk of flooding. Temperature, pollution increases in the surrounding areas. Due to the traffic, the traffic of vehicles around Sadashivnagar residential areas road and Poornaprajna School, around ground will increase. The footpath will be cut.

A letter has been send to Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai, Minister Dr. C.N. Ashwathtanarayan, BBMP Chief Commissioner to stop the project. Issues arising from this flyover have been submitted to DLT and BMLTA also. 

What is in DPR of BBMP?

Along with widening of road over Sankey lake, construction of 995 meter flyover between Guttahalli main road and Sankey road through Bhashyam circle will reduce traffic congestion at junctions and reduce travel time, according to the detailed project report prepared by BBMP. Costs due to delays and traffic jams at junctions can also be reduced. Safe and smooth traffic will be possible at the junctions. The DPR mentions that accidents and minor collisions will be reduced.

Negative impact on the environment...

If a flyover is constructed on Sankey Road, instead of 58 trees, 85 trees will have to be felled. Also, more than 400 plants and trees will be damaged, according to Azim Premji University's 'Environmental Impact' report. 85 heritage and unusual trees will have to be felled in the flyover area. It has 34 species of trees. About 400 plants growing in this area, including the Sanki lake, will be indirectly damaged by the construction of the flyover. Prof. said that the growth of plants will be stunted due to digging. Harini Nagendra, Prof. Seema Mundoli and Vijay Nishant of Vriksha Foundation explained in the report.

 According to this report, there will be five major negative impacts on the environment. As the green cover decreases, the amount of carbon increases. Air pollution increases. Unexpected adverse effects in the atmosphere will increase. Adverse effect on urban biodiversity. Biodiversity in Lake Sankey is threatened.

What do BBMP officials say?

It is necessary to construct a flyover along with widening of Sankey Road to ease traffic congestion. There is no change in this. We have made it clear in the court about Sankey Road widening. Now we have technically planned to construct the flyover. BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath said that this is essential.

 "If only road widening is done, it will not be of any use. So technically we are committed to construction of flyover and underpass. Many people are saying to build an overpass. Some say no. Technologically we are ahead. In a democracy, there will always be different opinions. Bangalore Metropolitan Land Transport Authority (BMLTA) has also been informed about this flyover.

Leader of Sanki Road flyover, BBMP Engineer in Chief Prahlad, said, 'It has been started after obtaining permission from the government. This flyover is being constructed with foresight and vehicular traffic will be reduced. He said in the public meeting that there will be traffic at Kaveri Junction, so let's build a flyover there.

 What do the locals say?

Traffic congestion will increase further. BMLTA has not reviewed this project. Also, the construction of the flyover in the 30 meter buffer zone of the lake would violate the National Green Bench (NGT) order. The project has not been discussed extensively with the citizens. A major concern is the weakening of the Sankey lake. Instead of constructing this flyover, alternative routes should be seriously considered. Heritage trees will be lost. Residents of Malleshwar, Sadashivanagar, Vaiyalikaval are of the opinion that the traffic will increase on many levels and the traffic will be heavy and the pedestrians including the elderly and students will suffer.

'Bommai Uncle Don't want flyover...'

About 2 thousand students in Malleswar, Vaiyalikaval and Sadashivanagar wrote a letter to Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai, saying, 'Bommai uncle... don't build the flyover. We will have no place to play. Traffic and pollution will increase.

 What is the alternative solution?

According to IISC Traffic Systems Engineering Department Dr. Verma Ashis, traffic congestion can be reduced by 'Traffic Signal Timing Optimization'. This can save the cost of crores of rupees for the flyover.

Quotes...

Krishna Panyam, Malleshwaram Social

For too long, we have let our cities be mutilated by unscientific and unnecessary urban infrastructure projects like white topping, road widening and flyovers. For too long, we have let our public transport slide, forcing people to switch to private vehicles. It's time to bring the bus back to being the primary means of transport. Govts should discourage private vehicle usage by means of charging for parking, strict enforcement of traffic rules, bus lanes, even congestion pricing, etc. while simultaneously improving public transport. BMTC should get financial support to double its fleet and modernise its operations. Pedestrians, walking and cycling should be central to any urban planning. A majority of trips in our cities are short distances, and we should make our streets walkable.

 

Madhusudhan, Sadashivnagar Resident..

As a concerned citizen, I strongly oppose the proposed flyover and road widening project near Sankey Tank. Not only will it worsen traffic congestion, but it also violates environmental regulations and disregards the safety and well-being of the community. We need to focus on sustainable and inclusive solutions that benefit everyone. Let's protect our heritage, our environment, and our people by choosing a better path forward.

 

Lakshmi Sharath, Citizens for Sankey

We need more sustainable and long term solutions . Cutting trees , building flyovers and road widening is not going to solve the problems but they are the problems . We are just shifting the traffic points from one place to another , like in this case to Cauvery Magic Box which is a big blunder by itself . And these trees are our heritage and by cutting them , we are destroying our biodiversity.

Kimsuka Iyer, Citizens for Sankey

The BBMP and government have not followed due process for this Sankey Flyover project. We want our elected representatives to come up with long term, well thought out measures for our neighbourhoods and city, not these ad hoc projects. Our trees and lakes are our heritage. Bengaluru is a mess because we allow such projects to continue. Citizens have had enough, we refuse to allow this anymore. We are standing up for our right to a well planned city. With elections coming up, we are keen to see which parties are serious about these issues of urban planning, transport and mobility.

Preeti Sunderajan, Citizens for Sankey

The Sankey flyover project has been an eye opener and a wakeup call to me. Personally, this project made me realise the importance of public participation and civic activism in order to ensure good governance. From the time of the public announcement of the project, we have managed to garner the support of citizens around the area, to come together to form a group, Citizens for Sankey. As representatives of the area, we have been able to voice our protest against the unscientifically designed flyover that does not solve any of the traffic problems, but just shifts the bottleneck further ahead causing an entire network of roads to get further blocked. This project is planned at the cost of our heritage trees, birds, endangered animals like slender loris all being at risk alongside the lake. This is a huge loss to our heritage and what the city once stood for. A loss of our trees and heritage spaces is a loss of our cultural identity and way of life. It is absolutely necessary for us to look at a more holistic approach to sustainable mobility, get expert opinion and focus on a robust mass transportation system.

Sluice-Gate: BBMP left 46 lakes

148 lakes have been approved by the government; Only in 102 lakes are getting sluice gate according to BBMP Tender

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್‌

Bengaluru: Although the state government has approved the installation of sluice gates for 148 lakes in the Amrita Nagarothana Project, the BBMP is spending that amount on 102 lakes. 46 lakes have been abandoned.

The reason for the 'East Submerged Bangalore' is the huge amount of water flowing from the lakes. BBMP will spend ₹36.85 crore to construct 'sluice gates' for 102 lakes under its jurisdiction so that if it is controlled, there will be no problem like flooding. BBMP is now constructing a high-tech 'sluice gate', which was constructed in the form of a stone pillar in the past to slowly drain water into the lake.

The city received the heaviest rainfall in September 2022. On this occasion, there was a flood situation in Mahadevpur, Bommanahalli, Yalahanka areas, and a huge amount of damage was caused to the properties of the citizens. Lakes overflowed and water flowed in large quantities. In order to control this and slow down the flow of water, as per the government order (NAE 782 MNY 2022 (E)) BBMP has decided to construct the sluice gates. For this, tenders have been invited in eight packages sector wise and are now in the final stage.

The lakes approved by the government on 28 September 2022 as item number 2 are 148. The cost of how many lakes in which zone has also been entered. However, 46 lakes have been left out in the tender package. The Chief Engineer of Lakes Division at BBMP headquarters does not have complete information. Due to decentralization of powers, the Executive Engineers are calling the tenders.

More spending by legislators!

Local engineers are undertaking the development of lakes only on the permission of the legislators. Although the development work has been approved by the government, the development of some lakes has not yet started. For example Kenchenahalli Lake and Gandhinagar Lake in Kengeri. In the same way, a lot of money is being spent on a few lakes for sluice gates  installation,' said T.E., an environmental activist. Srinivas, Mallikarjunaswamy, T. Mohan complained.

Immediate work..

As per the direction of the state government, tenders have been invited from the respective sector wise departments to install sluice gates  in the lakes. It is intended that this work should be completed by the rainy season. Therefore, a package tender has been called, BBMP Lakes Division Chief Engineer Vijayakumar Haridas said.

One in approval, another in tender

Tenders have been invited in zone-wise packages for the work of laying  sluice gates   for lakes. It is stated in the tender that all the lakes in that zone will be installed in the  sluice gates. However, the information on file with BBMP is different. There is information about which lakes should be installed in each zone and how much it will cost, there are only 102 lakes in this. That alone will cost ₹38.85 crore sanctioned by the government. Information about the remaining 46 lakes is not in the file.

Approval for installation of  sluice gates   for 2 and 5 lakes in West and Dasarahalli zones respectively, the information in the file is correct. Elsewhere in the eastern zone, 4 lakes are approved, 3 are listed, 5 out of 7 in the south, 25 out of 38 in Bommanahalli, 40 out of 52 in Mahadevpur, 23 out of 30 in Rajarajeshwarinagar, 14 out of 22 in Yalahanka.

Other expenses are ₹8 crore!

BBMP is spending ₹8.22 crore for the work of  sluice gates  being installed in 102 lakes as detailed project report, project management advice (to PMC) and other expenses. Usually 10% of the project is given to PMC. That means ₹3.6 crore. The remaining four and a half crores are other expenses.

Sluice Gates: How much for which lake?

Solid waste: BBMp sent another notice to Jnanabharati

5th 'Nenpole' to Bengaluru University by BBMP to set up solid waste treatment and disposal system

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bengaluru: For the 5th time, BBMP has sent 'Nenapole' to treat the solid waste generated in the Jnanabharati campus and student hostels of Bangalore University.

Since Jnanabharati falls under the scope of 'massive waste generator', the University has been informed through notices and letters from April 2021 to comply with the 'duties of massive waste generators' and solid waste management bye-laws in government orders and circulars. Following this, BBMP has stopped collection of solid waste from Jnanabharati premises from January 2023. Therefore, waste is being set on fire in the premises of the university.

Waste is being illegally dumped and set on fire in the premises of Jnanabharati. This should be controlled' said Santosh Maruru in a letter to the Joint Commissioner of Rajarajeswarinagar Zone of BBMP.

"Jnanabharati should perform the duties of the huge waste generators. Solid waste treatment and disposal are included in the category. On February 28, BBMP sent a 5th letter to Bengaluru Chancellor saying that they should inform Santosh and BBMP who have filed a complaint.

"We will set up a waste treatment unit in Bangalore University campus," everyone including the chancellor of the university says when there is a case like a fire or a fire in waste. The local opinion is that they will be forgotten later. Recently, the State Pollution Control Board has also issued a notice to Bangalore Jnanabharati University that action should be taken within 15 days regarding waste management.

Garbage is being thrown everywhere near the student halls. Students are not aware of waste. Even professors don't care about cleanliness. They are setting fire there. The waste generated in this premises should be sorted and processed by the university itself. Not doing that either. They say someone else litters. Gowdaiah, secretary of Jnanabharati Vayuviharis Association, demanded that they should first process their garbage and set an example.

BDA violating building norms: CAG report

BDA: Wasteful expenditure on the project by Kaniminike

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

BENGALURU: The Bangalore Development Authority, which has improperly executed the Kaniminike housing project, has wasted ₹27.24 crore without realizing the demand and without even planning a connecting road. The CAG report said that the expenditure of ₹451.53 crore has not been received.

The compliance audit report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India for the year ended March 2021 opined that the objective of providing housing to the economically backward classes has also not been met.

BDA did not conduct a demand survey at the time of determining the feasibility of the mini-housing project. Thus, even though the project is completed, only 224 flats (15 percent) out of 1500 flats have been allotted. Also, building construction by-laws of BBMP have not been followed in this project. The road in front of the multi-storey building should be 12 meters and there should be a connecting road to the residential units. However, a link road to the Mysuru main road was planned without finalisation. The report details that the road problem has been avoided till March 2022, which is the reason why the demand has fallen to a minimal extent.

That amount should be recovered from the contractor responsible for the additional cost. A complaint has been registered at the police station despite the theft of ₹91 lakh worth of materials stored in the premises. However, it is said that BDA has not taken any follow-up action regarding fixing the responsibility and recovering the loss.

The CAG report recommended that the BDA should henceforth carry out housing projects after guaranteeing the provision of infrastructure including demand survey, connectivity roads.

Improper benefit to land owners:

Disrespecting the court orders, BDA has incurred a burden of ₹29.85 crore by giving undue benefit to land owners in existing and new layouts.

Though there is 19 acres of gomala (grass land) for additional expansion of Sir M. Visvesvaraya layout, out of which eight acres of gomala has been allotted by BDA as two acres each to four persons. The order was quashed by the Special District commissioner on the ground of inadequacy and absence of necessary documents. Later, as per the orders of the High Court, the Special District commissioner conducted a detailed investigation. The BDA has given rights over the land to the owners against the orders of the courts after acquiring Gomala. Due to this, land owners had to be given plots in the ratio of 40:60. This is a burden on the BDA. The CAG report recommended that the government should identify the persons responsible for this financial burden and take action against them.

The deposit amount of ₹1.52 crore paid by the buyer during the auction of the 97th plot in Chandralayout has been refunded on the orders of the BDA Commissioner, in contempt of the legal report. The same other stores have forfeited initial deposits at the auction. Thus, the CAG report suggested to follow strict rule in deposit refund.

Additional cost: 

The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board has not taken measures to prevent corrosion of sewage pipes and the pipes are damaged. Additional cost of ₹40.65 crore due to provision of polymer based protective coating to pipes without taking economical measures. The CAG report said that those responsible for this should be held accountable.

BBMP: Cancel illegal 'A' Khatha!

Khatha given beyond rules for properties, that should be in 'B' Khatha only

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

BENGALURU: The 'A' Khatha of properties acquired illegally without land conversion and without payment of any fee, including revenue tax under the jurisdiction of BBMP, will be cancelled.

The Chief Commissioner of BBMP has constituted a 'Scrutiny Committee' to review and take action on all the accounts which have been converted from 'B' Khatha to 'A' Khatha in Rajarajeshwarinagar, Bommanahalli, Dasarahalli, Mahadevpur, Yalahanka, West zone.

The Bruhat Bengaluru Metropolitan Corporation has a large coverage area, including 110 villages, and has lakhs of plots in the city in revenue and unconverted areas. BBMP or BDA has already provided infrastructure like road, sewerage to the sites in such cases. There was no opportunity for their land conversion. Land does not get Khatha for unconverted plots. All these plots are likely to be regularized under the Akrama-Sakrama scheme. However, the Supreme Court given stay to that project and it is under trial. Thus, BBMP is collecting property tax by registering the plots in 'B' registrar.

BBMP has not given any announcement or plan to convert any entries in 'B' registrar into 'A' Khatha. However, in lakhs of cases 'A' Khatha has been given. All these are illegal and BBMP has decided to cancel them all.

 In the wake of the delay in the illegal-legal scheme, many people in the BBMP area were ready to get an 'A' Khatha to get more value for the properties in the 'B' registrar and to get a loan from the bank. The officials of revenue department of BBMP have given 'A' Khatha to such plots. People have given a lot of money for this. But there is no receipt for it. Property tax is being paid as applicable to 'A' Khatha only. However, this Khatha will be cancelled.

Scrutiny Committee: 

BBMP Finance Commissioner Jairam Raipur – Chairman, Special Commissioner Revenue R.L. Deepak, Special Commissioner of Administration Harish Kumar – Member, Additional Commissioner of Finance – Member Secretary.

Strict action on staff: Jayaram Raipur

Strict action will be taken against the BBMP staff who have given 'A' Khatha for the premises which should be in 'B' registrar (B Khatha) under BBMP jurisdiction. There have been a lot of complaints about the staff of the corporation taking money and making 'A' Khatha. Neither the fee to the government nor the development fee to BDA-BBMP has been paid. There is no chance for this at present. 'B' should be with the registrar. An 'A' Khatha is given to such plots. An investigation will be conducted in a month and strict action will be taken against all the staff who are responsible," said Jairam Raipur, chairman of the review committee, who is also the special commissioner of the BBMP finance department.

Congress and JDS are fighting in a constituency where BJP is strong

Congress and JDS are fighting in a constituency where BJP is strong

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bengaluru: After the formation of the C.V.Raman Nagar Assembly Constituency, it has been winning and strong constituency for BJP. S. Raghu has won a hat trick, has immense hold on the constituency as he is very close to the people. Congress is gearing up again to resist the BJP, which has been increasing its vote share from term to term. JDS is looking for a candidate.

C.V.Ramannagar Constituency is like a 'mini India' including people from all parts of the country. People from all states are here as there are offices related to defense sector, air force. It also has the coverage of prestigious Indira Nagar including New Thippsandra, Old Madras Road, Visvesvaraya Metro Station.

C.V.Ramannagar was formed as a new Assembly Constituency by combining the areas of Bharatinagar and Varthur Assembly Constituencies. C.V.Ramannagar is SC reserved constituency where BJP is deeply entrenched. It has increased by more than five thousand votes per term in the last three elections. Congress and JD(S) have tried hard to stop Raghu's influence in the last three times but failed. In 2008, Congress's K.C. Vijayakumar, P. in 2013. Ramesh, Sampath Raj lost in 2018. P. Ramesh came to JDS in 2018 and was able to bring more votes to the party than before. Former mayors Vijayakumar and Sampathraj contested from Congress and fought hard.

Hospitals and educational institutions have increased in this area and the government and corporation system is also becoming high-tech in this area. The citizens had a lot of trouble when the CMH road and 100 feet road of Indira Nagar became concrete roads. Politically, BJP's corporators were more in 6 wards. There is still an expectation of sophisticated systems in terms of development for the prestigious sector.

S. Raghu who has won three times. He is going to be the BJP candidate and has already started campaigning ahead of the development works of the previous periods. There are meetings with people every day. On the other hand, the fact that the ticket is final makes it difficult for the opposition parties to conduct activities.

This time Congress has decided to put more effort and 8 aspirants have applied. Some were dropped in the screening committee rounds and now S. Anandkumar, R. Sampathraj, V. Shankar is in the final stage. The selection of candidate in JDS is not finalised.
