The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K.
- Shivakumar has proposed that the government take back residential sites allotted by authorities such as the BDA if construction does not begin within five years of allotment.
- He announced the proposal while launching a debris clearance drive, citing vacant plots filled with debris.
- Allottees have criticised the move, saying vacant sites are often the result of poor governance, missing amenities, litigation, and the lack of a clear debris disposal system, not owners' unwillingness to build.
- The proposal has been under consideration for months, and the BDA's sale agreements already contain a penalty clause for non-construction within five years that could be amended.
What to watch next
- Whether the BDA amends its sale agreement clause and formally notifies the reclamation rule
- Whether allottee groups' demand that the five-year clock start only after amenities are provided and certified by RERA is accepted
- How the government addresses debris disposal and maintenance of vacant sites it reclaims
