Un-authorised houses of poor’s to be regularised in Bangalore

Only for Below the Poverty Line 

Here is good news for the people below the poverty line who have built un-authorised houses in the urban areas, that is, the areas coming under the limits of Bangalore city corporations, town municipalities and town panchayats. The State Government is believed to introduce an amendment bill in the coming legislature bill session to enable poor people in the urban areas get title deed for their houses built on government revenue land!

The built house should not exceed 40x60

However,  as stated earlier, the applicant should belong to below the poverty line, should have built house in a dimension not exceeding 40x60 (which is difficult for even a middleclass), and should have built in January 2012. The applicant should not posses any other house in the state.

Is this a Strategy?

The opposition and the people with political interest feel this move as an election strategy for the coming Assembly polls next year.
