Land owners at Bengaluru鈥檚 NPKL told to find own water, power

21 Jul 2022 CW Team

Site owners at Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout (NPKL) seeking to build houses now have to submit affidavits undertaking that they will bear the responsibility of availing of temporary water, power and sanitary connections, among other basic amenities.

The move of the developer, Bangalore Development Authority (BDA), comes in the wake of its failure to complete civil works, underground drainage, water supply and electrification works in the layout.

The BDA allotted sites in 2016, but failed to provide basic facilities. The Phase I allottees鈥� dream of having their own homes remains unfulfilled due to lack of basic amenities in the layout. The unreasonable riders for construction are now only making the allottees angrier.

Recently, the petition committee of the assembly headed by the deputy speaker and officials from the BDA and urban development department (UDD) had an inspection of the layout. After that, officials of the BDA initially geared up to start the work, but now the momentum has slowed.

Site owners of the NPKL are appealing to the BDA to provide basic infrastructure. 鈥淏DA has allotted sites to us, but forgot to provide amenities. Now, it is trying to push its responsibility on us to get the plan sanctioned,鈥� said Surya Kiran AS, joint secretary of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout Open Forum.
