Sites of beneficiaries who failed to build houses to be cancelled

The sites of those beneficiaries who have not bothered to build houses in Indavar village will be cancelled.

A decision in this regard was taken at the Ashraya Committee meeting, which was convened by MLA C T Ravi, at CMC office here. Many out of the 747 beneficiaries in the village, are yet to build houses on the sites allotted to them.

Th  MLA said that the siteless in the city were being told to enrol under the scheme, before December end. He, meanwhile, directed the authorities concerned to carry out a survey in this regard.

Committee nominated member Sylvester raised the issue of some people, who already own houses under the Indira Gandhi scheme in Mallenahalli Panchayat limits, getting sites under the scheme. It was decided to issue notices to such beneficiaries and to subsequently cancel their sites.

It was also found that some of the beneficiaries were not residing in the Ashraya houses while other siteless were residing there. The meeting decided to permanently provide the houses to these dwellers.

The Ashraya Committee members said that the land earmarked for park, on the outskirts of the city, should be utilised to build the housing colony, instead of an earlier earmarked land, which was a hilly area.

The MLA directed the officials to carry out spot inspection towards the same. CMC president Muttaiah, Ashraya Committee members Hiremagaluru Ramachandra, Jagadish, Vasanta Somegowda, Assistant Commissioner Ramachandran and Tahsildar Shivanna.
