After a long gap of more
than eight years , MUDA distributed sites and that too couple of
thousands when the list of site seeking people is growing. There may be
many rich in the list of site seekers , but majority of them are the
poor and the lower middle class people who like their rich fellow
citizens have a dream to own a site and construct a house.

People who are unable to buy the sites from private developers and
realtors have applied and waiting for their turn in the MUDA. ” Sir I
have applied for a site in 1991 , and made seven attempts, but I am yet
to get a site from MUDA after 22 years of applying for a site ” a police constable
from the city intelligence wing who has left with only a couple of
years service complained ,pointing out MUDA’s failure to meet the demand
for sites from poor people.

Even the elected representatives
from the city to the state assembly and council who are members of MUDA
have allegedly failed to highlight the situation on the site seekers
front and get developed more lay outs. At the meeting , only MLA Tanveer
Sait pointed out the increasing number of site seekers and criticized
the budget proposals for having no mention about new lay outs . ” This
budget lacks vision and has no concern for the poor, lower and upper
middle class people” he said urging MUDA to initiate steps to clear the
list of 1.5 lakh site seekers. But most of the members who spoke on
budget proposals failed to mention a word about site seekers waiting for
long years. Countering Sait’s claim , MUDA chairman Nagendra said only 83000 applications are pending and not 1.5 lakh.
