BENGALURU: The Karnataka Municipalities (Amendment) Bill 2022 was approved by the Karnataka Legislative Assembly on Tuesday to save residents in rural areas the burden of obtaining the Town and Country Planning Department’s approval for their building plans.
The e-khata cabinet sub-committee, led by law minister JC Madhu Swamy, voted to remove the administrative barriers to getting building plan approvals in areas not governed by local planning agencies. The regulation of land development outside of municipal planning areas is detailed in the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act. The properties located in gram panchayats which were added to urban local bodies, will be regularised after the amendment.
The opposition members raised concerns regarding the amendment saying that the move will benefit the real estate developers and allow them to build illegal properties with no proper civic amenities. This issue, according to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, has existed for a very long time. Property regularisation is a challenging problem that must be resolved one at a time.
