Build or lose your vacant sites in Bangalore
Build or lose your vacant sites in Bangalore. Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) will soon issue notices to allottees who had left their sites vacant even five years after purchasing them. It will inform them that if construction has not taken place in vacant spaces even five years after their allotment, the agency has the legal right to take them back.
According to BDA officials, there are over a lakh such vacant sites across 64 BDA layouts and private layouts in a city struggling for space and where real estate value is soaring. An official, requesting anonymity, said there is not even 25% occupancy in these layouts and there are over 4,000, 5,000 and 4,000 sites lying vacant in these layouts respectively. An advertisement was recently put out in the public domain to make people aware of this mindless waste of space.
BDA will inform allottees who had left their sites vacant that if construction has not taken place in vacant spaces even five years after their allotment, the agency has the legal right to take them back. But till date, not a single site has been taken back by BDA. Also, no notice has been issued by any of the previous commissioners. The reason is not far to seek. Most of these sites belong to MLAs, MPs, police officials, legal representatives and bureaucrats. The BDA official pointed out that most of the sites remained unoccupied as influentials, like a minister for example, have purchased over 10 sites in various names. This is either for investment or to keep as an asset.
Even some commoners owning sites in these layouts have not occupied them saying the place lacked basic facilities like clean drinking water. “In case a notice is served to an individual, there are chances that it could be challenged in a court. And the court might favour the allottee stating that some basic facilities are inadequate and the agency (BDA) should have provided them before the allotment. Except water, BDA has ensured other facilities such as roads, under ground drainage system, electricity, sanitary lines etc. We are still helpless in providing water,” the official said.
Thus, while on one the hand, the agency plans to issue notices, on the other, it has sent a proposal to the government last month seeking its green signal to go ahead with vertical growth rather than horizontal expansion in Kempe Gowda Layout.
