Mysore/Mysuru: In one of the biggest anti-encroachment drives in recent years, the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) on Saturday reclaimed the land on which four unauthorised private layouts had come up. The four layouts had come up on lands coming under Sathagalli Survey Nos. 65, 27/3 and 2/3 and Devanur Survey No. 25 in the taluk.
Some private developers had developed the four layouts and had allotted sites, without any change of land use certification issued by the Deputy Commissioner (DC) nor had any plan approval from MUDA, which is mandatory. One of these layouts had blatantly violated the rule by erecting unauthorised sheds on a public road at Sathagalli. Following complaints from the public, MUDA Commissioner G.T. Dinesh Kumar had inspected the spots last week. Subsequently, in an early morning operation on Saturday, the MUDA authorities reclaimed the lands by evacuating the unauthorised structures that had come up on the lands, thus sending out a message that there is no scope for illegal layouts.
