BENGALURU: There is a lot of difference in the figure of encroachment before the government and the important committees on encroachment of government land in urban district. According to the latest information from the revenue department, only 269 acres of encroached land in the city district has to be cleared.

 Bengaluru City District Government Land Encroachment  A Joint Legislative Committee headed by A.T.Ramaswamy had given its report in July 2007. Government Lands Conservation Task Force President V. Balasubramanian reported in July 2011 titled 'Greed and Connivance'. Under the chairmanship of K.B. Koliwada, the House Committee on Encroachment and Conservation of Lakes in Urban and Rural Districts has given a report in 2017.

 There is a lot of difference in the figures of these three reports, and the fact that only 269 acres are pending encroachment has led to many doubts.

 The Public Lands Corporation has reported the figures of the Revenue Department. This does not include forest land encroachment. Also, the encroachment details of the lakes belonging to the revenue department are not included. Thus, this information does not include sufficient occupancy. The actual report was covered up by the authorities and if it is taken out and investigated, it will be revealed that the encroachment is in thousands of acres,' said V.Balasubramanian, who was the additional chief secretary.

More than 12,000 acres of land in Bangalore city have been regularized on the basis of cultivation. But the applications submitted in Form 50/53 have to be sanctioned by the Committee of Local MLAs. However, they cannot be sanctioned as per the Act. He said that the applications have not been rejected.

 According to the law, land cannot be allotted for cultivation within a distance of 18 km around the BBMP border. Oneness cannot be done here. As applications for such lands are pending before the committee, real estate in the area has taken off. Huge buildings have been built. He asked whether he will clear all of them.

 According to Koliwada's report, the encroachment of the city's lakes exceeds four thousand acres. Most of the lakes come under the revenue department. But, can you believe that there is only 269 acres encroachment? He opined that if the revenue minister gets to know the reality, he too will calm down.

 He had said in 2013 that he would vacate encroachment on government land. Politicians were named in the report. When it was reported about this, they also proposed to disqualify me. Only the oppression remains the same. "Nothing has happened for 10 years," he said.

Real estate mafia won't let go: Balasubramanian

 Minister Krishnabairegowda is saying that he will clear encroachment on government land within a time limit. However, the real estate mafia in all parties does not allow this. An acre in Bangalore city is now worth at least ₹15 crore to ₹20 crore. It cannot be cleared and saved. This will happen as we have been saying for years that we will clear the encroachment of Rajakaluve,' said V.Balasubramanian, who was the chairman of the government land conservation task force.

 Fake document more: A.T. Ramaswamy

 Government land encroachment clearance is a drama. They say that they have cleared thousands of acres so far. Place a sign indicating where it is vacant. That too will be thrown away. They say that the committee will give a report and take action, but they often do the trick of wiping away tears. Please inform us openly about the action taken on the report given by the committee and task forces. They created fake documents for thousands of acres of land and took bribes. They can take action against them. They bow down to the powerful. He harasses others' said former MLA A.T. Ramaswamy opined.
