MUDA reclaims encroached land
Mysore, Oct 26, DHNS
Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) on Tuesday reclaimed its land that had been encroached upon razing three structures near Devanur lake in the city.
The operation that was supervised by chief engineer of MUDA, Veerabhadraswamy deployed two earth moving machines amid heavy police bandobust, and pulled down a house and two unroofed sheds.
Ayub of Udaygiri had purchased the site brokered by Latheef and Aftab, real estate agents for Rs 1.5 lakh recently. He had built a house spending nearly Rs 7.5 lakh. And, to his shock, MUDA launched the operation to demolish the illegal structure. He acquiesced and vacated the house facilitating the operation.
Commissioner, MUDA, P C Jayanna told Deccan Herald that the authority had acquired a total of three acres of land to develop a layout in survey number 133 of Devanur lake area.
A part of the same area had been encroached upon, forcing the authority to act before the situation aggravates.
