Niranjan has been appointed as the nodal officer, while the Additional Commissioner (South) will assist him.

The meeting was attended by zonal commissioners and heads of the various departments. They were instructed to make a list of the unauthorised buildings coming under their jurisdictions as per the directive of the Karnataka High Court. They were asked to verify the list and submit it to his office.
