Middle-class housings on 30 ft*40 ft plots on government’s land, within 3-18 km radius of the municipal corporations, municipalities and town panchayats across the state of Maharashtra have been proposed to be regularized by the state government. This proposal currently in progress with the revenue department of the state and conceivably will save many middle-class families from being homeless, who ignorantly started and continue living on those government owned lands in revenue pockets. According to the sources, the number of such families crosses a thousand.
Government is likely to bring about hundreds of crores of rupees as penalty accumulated from those who apply for commeasure. The revenue department assured this penalty charge will be rather nominal and the quantum of penalty will be decided on coming Wednesday, May 24 at the cabinet meeting and the fee of regulation will be decided based on the type of urban local bodies. As per the updated census datda it’s mostly middle class people who build houses on these 30*40 sites (1200 sq ft).
Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike(BBMP) are kept out of this relaxation. Urban local bodies of Anekal, Devanahalli, Magadi, Malur, Hoskote and Nelamangala will be covered under this proposed relief. The illegal constructions of these mentioned areas will be benefited from this recommended alleviation. Side by side some other cities with 30×40 ft occupancy sites will be regularized. These states are- Ballari, Belagavi, Davanagere, Hubballi-Dharwad, Kalauragi, Tumakuru, Vijayapura, Mangaluru, Mysuru and Shivamogga.
If this proposal gets approval from the government, then inhabitants won’t have to live under fear of their houses being bulldozed. This move will privilege the Siddaramaiah government to lead-in the next assembly election as this approval is likely going to rack up much brownie point for the current ruling party.
Previously, Karnataka government declared regularization on illegal development built on 20ft*30ft (600 sqft) sites located 18 km away from Bengaluru periphery. Illegal buildings, located 10 km away from the periphery in the cities like Mysuru, Belagavi, Kalaburagi, Hubballi-Dharwad and Mangaluru are still seeking regularization.
