Mysore/Mysuru: Reacting to the startling disclosure made by Urban Development Minister Byrathi Basavaraj that MUDA has over 13,000 unallotted sites and acquired land that extends up to 300 acres worth more than Rs. 5,000 crore, MUDA Commissioner G.T. Dinesh Kumar told SOM this morning that many MUDA lands have been encroached upon by vested interests.
“Yes, the Minister is right. Apart from the mentioned unallotted sites, MUDA has vacant lands, lands that have been encroached upon, lands under Court litigation and lands that have to be earmarked for public amenities but the parties concerned have not followed the rules. All these lands are within the Mysuru city limits itself,” he said.
