Two layouts developed on city outskirts
Raichur: The Raichur Development Authority (RDA) has established residential layouts on the outskirts of the city, at Siddrampur Road and at Bolmandoddi Road. As many as 680 sites have been formed.
A notification inviting the public to file applications for purchasing the sites had been called by the RDA last month. Those interested may file their applications at the RDA office by paying 10 per cent of the cost of the site on or before October 5.
Disclosing this to presspersons on Sunday, chairman of RDA Jagannath Kulkarni said the RDA had acquired 51.21 acres of land to develop the two residential sites. This had been made into 516 sites at Siddrampur Road and another 164 at Bolmandoddi Road.
The RDA proposed to spend about 14 crore to develop facilities including water supply, electricity, roads and underground drains at the two layouts. In this regard, a budgetary provision of Rs. 5 crore had been made and a loan of Rs. 6 crore raised. It expected to collect Rs. 23.44 crore from the sale of sites, making a profit of Rs. 9.44 crore.
Mr. Kulkarni said that sites of various dimensions had been formed. The sites would be allotted to all eligible beneficiaries as per Section 13(2) of the Karnataka Urban Development (Sites Allotment) Act, 1991, he said.
Those interested may obtain details from the RDA office, Mr. Kulkarni added.
