Wrong information of Property in UPOR

 Dozens of errors in the 'verified card' of property ownership under BBMP

 Property record: Wrong information in UPOR

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 Bengaluru: Property owners in the city don't need anything else if they have this card. It is said that 'UPOR Card', which is a repository of complete records of property, is in the hands of citizens and it is a hive of errors.

 Assets are measured on such a day. The land surveyor has issued a notice to the property owner saying 'documents should be provided'. But, no one comes that day. No measurements are taken, no records are kept. But after two months, the 'UPOR card' comes to the owner's house. All the information in it is wrong. Thousands of such cases have been registered in the city.

 Our plot measures 40x25 feet, means 1,115 sq.ft. However, in the UPOR record it is mentioned as 1262.2 square feet. On the day the notice was given, he did not come to the place and measure. The surveyor said that we measured and went. We were at home. I don't know under what magic it came and went. They have printed a red mark on photo on the card at a place other than ours. He wrote that the plan was not given. If they come, them only we can give, is it,' asked Shivakumar from Kengeri Upanagara.

 There are mistakes, how to correct them is, as they say give the document of going to the K.R.  circle office. If they do it right once, it will avoid wandering. Unable to upload online.,  He said that senior officials should pay attention to this.

 Record collection again: 

'Map of properties collected by drone. It has been noticed that the information is wrong in some places. A full measure in place is required to fix it. In addition, a team has been formed to collect documents. Ward-wise records will be collected from the owners of each property, said officials of the UPOR project.

100 property target:

 Each surveyor has been given a target to measure and record 100 properties per day. Spending at least 10 minutes on one property can collect information on six properties per hour. If you work continuously for 10 hours, you will accumulate a record of 60 properties. Full measurement, record collection is not possible in 10 minutes. "The surveyors are working under a lot of pressure," said a land surveyor who did not wish to be named.

 'Wrong one, What is the need for UPOR?'

 After giving the notice, they should come to measure. Even if we sit and wait for the day the surveyor told us at home, he will not come. Why give notice if it is to be taken on google map. If the measurement is lower or higher than our location, we have to find an office to correct it again. They say they got the information from BBMP. If the purchase deed, account, property tax details are all there then why not mention the same. Such misinformation will cause us further trouble. What is the need to issue a defective UPOR card? T.E. Srinivas from Raja Rajeshwari Nagar, questioned.

 'They say that record not given,  without getting it!'

 According to the UPOR scheme, property ownership deed, property tax payment receipt, property arrears letter, BBMP khatha, plot allotment letter, plot possession deed, copy of land conversion order/layout plan, photo of owner, photo of property should be published on the card. If they do not have all these details, they should get them from us. The person who gave the notice never came, sent the card without collecting the document and stated that it was not given. This is an irresponsible scheme. But the owners are facing difficulties,' complained Sivakumar of Kengeri.

What is UPOR?

  •  A 'UPOR Card' issued by the government is a certificate of property ownership for citizens. It also contains property map, ownership details, rights including debt, litigation and other information.
  •  In case of sale or partition of property with 'UPOR Card', the information is changed in the automated system by the office of the Deputy Registrar. If there is pressure on lake area, government property, forest area, they are clearly linked to each property. The purpose of the UPOR scheme as presented now. However, all this information is not available in the 'UPOR Card' which is available to the people. Instead, many of the details are incorrect.

 'This is a draft, document can be submitted'

 Now the draft 'UPOR Card' has been given. There have been over 7,000 complaints online about the bug. Complaints can be lodged at the K.R.circle office of the Commissioner of Land Survey, Revenue and Land Records Department UPOR. It will be checked and action will be taken. Complaints can also be lodged online (https://rdservices.karnataka.gov.in/service5/), officials said.

Cosmopolitan Club: Registration is going to cancel!

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

Bengaluru: The Cosmopolitan Club of Jayanagar, which is facing investigation for violating the lease agreement of CA site with BDA, is likely to have its registration canceled due to violation of bylaws.

Cosmopolitan Club, which has written a cover letter to the BDA, Cooperative Department and Excise Department, has said the same in its bylaws that it will do social work. But, so far not a small social work has been done. Instead, what was said in the general meeting about 'close the trust' which is doing social work for the club... This minutes has reached the Deputy Director of Co-operative Societies.

 In the bylaws of the association (2.6) the objective of helping the needy is mentioned. However, so far no such work has been done by the club. The 'Cosmopolitan Club Corpus Fund Trust', approved by the general meeting of the club, collected money from its own donors and did social work. The system of providing free meals to thousands of people should not be continued. Also the trust should be cancelled. Social responsibility does not need to be paid for. It was discussed in the recent general meeting that the club members should use it for license renewal and it was decided. Officials said that the cooperation department is seriously examining this and has decided to start the process of canceling the registration.

Millions of blessings will come...:

 'Every day we will sweep the garbage in this area, we will clean everything. They used to have good lunch in the afternoon. Was very happy. But it has stopped. If they give us food, they will get crores of blessings (punya),' said three or four poura karmikas working around the Cosmopolitan Club.

 The words heard in the general meeting

  •  * They eat in the parking lot, if we go to park the car, the smell of cooking, the smell of vegetables and onions will come. Should we look at this?
  •  * There is no need to provide food for those who do not get food. Make arrangements for club license renewal.
  •  * 'Even though there is no flour in the stomach, it is like the need of jasmine flower for the hair. No need for mid-day meal.
  •  * If you have such a noble cause, give them the Akshaya patra food of ISKCON. They will serrve where you tell them. Not here.
  •  * This is not a social club, but an entertainment club. Bylaw, Constitution not Supreme. Act Supreme. All facilities here are for members only.
  •  * 50% of the CSR fund should be given to the trust. Not a single penny has arrived. Confusion about a sacred task like lunch?
  •  * In lieu of social work, the club may purchase shuttle racquets, tennis balls, liquor and other items from sponsors.

BBMP: ₹6000 crore due to contractors

No chance of payment even if funds are available under BBMP; Residual also in central government grant

BBMP: ₹6000 crore due to contractors

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 Bengaluru: Under BBMP, the works have been completed, the bill processes have been completed and the outstanding amount for payment has exceeded ₹6 thousand crore.

 BBMP has the power to immediately pay half of this huge amount owed to contractors. However, the order of investigations does not allow it.

 Payment is due from 2021 for works completed under BBMP grant. Payment for works funded by UNION and STATE government is to be made from 2023 onwards. For all these works, payment is due even though the CBR (Central Bill Registrar) number and date entry is the final stage of the bill.

 There is more than ₹3 thousand crore in BBMP. Almost half of the balance of ₹6,000 crore can be released immediately. This will not cause any problem for the management of the corporation. Because there are seven months left in the financial year, the revenue will accumulate,'' say BBMP officials.

 Everyone, including the BBMP Chief Commissioner, is aware of the plight of contractors. However, some works are not actually done. So everyone is under suspicion. Therefore, the officials opined that the money will be given to everyone only after the investigation.

 The central and state governments should release the grant soon. If the money in BBMP is also released, the contractor's problem will be solved," BJP Bangalore South District Unit President N.R. Ramesh said.

The government has formed four SITs to report on the reality of the workers. It is said that they will release the money after reporting. But, how will the reality of the works done in 2019 be checked now? Defects Liability Period (DLP) is only one year after completion of work. Then the contractor is not responsible for the same. However, the contractors are questioning how they will do the inspection.

 KRIDL Bill Pending:

 There is a dispute regarding the works undertaken by the Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Corporation and some bills have not been paid since 2018 despite CBR. The bill for such issues is ₹65.56 crore.

 Appeal to CM, DCM again: Ravindra

 A lot of requests are being made to pay for the completed works under BBMP. We took a loan and completed the hard work. Contractors are unable to undertake new works. There is no money to pay the interest on the previous loan. The interest is increasing again. Therefore, the chief minister and deputy chief minister will be met again and agreed to pay the money," said Ravindra, the working president of the BBMP Contractors Association.

 Pay those who have worked: Manjunath

 The genuineness of the work under BBMP is being questioned and investigated. We are not asking to pay those who do not do the work. Pay the bill to those who have completed the work. A report has been given under the supervision of Chief Engineer. The money should be paid accordingly. Contractors are in dire straits. Every day their burden is increasing. Loan interest, interest on interest is increasing day by day. Pay the money soon," said BBMP Working Contractors Association President K.T. Manjunath appealed.


Outstanding Bill Statistics

  •  ₹6,077 crore: Total amount of works
  •  ₹3,256 crore: BBMP grant works
  •  ₹2,753 crore: State Government grant works
  •  ₹67.48 crore: Union Government grant works
  •  8364: Total bills outstanding
  •  7068 – BBMP

₹45 crore each for the Congress MLA constituency

 Permission from government for new works; Notice to BBMP to formulate plan

 ₹45 crore each for the Congress MLA constituency

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್

 BENGALURU: The government has approved an expenditure of ₹45 crore each for carrying out new works in 12 Congress MLA constituencies.

 MLAs should prepare a list of the works to be carried out and submit it to BBMP. It is suggested that those works should be carried out.

 When the Congress government came to power, all the works of BBMP were suspended. Including the assembly election period, not a single tender has been called since April. On the insistence of Congress MLAs, the government has now given permission to carry out new works.

 ₹45 crore per constituency is not a new grant. The same grants that were allowed when the BJP was in power are used here. However, now only the works mentioned by the Congress MLAs will be carried out. The BBMP officials informed that some of the previously decided works will be abandoned and new works will be carried out instead.

 There is also pressure to transfer the grant of assembly constituencies with BJP MLAs to the constituencies with Congress MLAs. As ₹45 crore work has been suggested to be carried out, the Congress MLAs are asking to adjust it in terms of stopping the works in other sectors.

The works started in the constituency with Congress MLAs during the BJP government should not be changed. Let it continue. "Now Congress MLAs are preparing a list to start new works by matching the ₹45 crore grant from other sectors," party sources said.

 ₹45 crore for Yeshwantpur too

 BJP MLA S.T. The government has also given approval to carry out work worth ₹45 crore in the Yeshavantpur assembly constituency represented by Somashekhar.

 There are 16 MLAs of BJP in the city and 15 MLAs have not been given this grant. This grant has been specially provided for Yeshwantpur only. BBMP sources said that the works said by Somashekhar will start immediately.

 Recently there has been a rapid development in the Yeshwantpur assembly constituency, with the local leaders of the BJP joining the Congress. When Somasekhar had earlier left the Congress to join the BJP, these leaders had followed him. But now the MLAs are still in the BJP but the leaders have returned to the Congress. Sources in the party said that Somashekhar may also join the Congress.
