Bengaluru: Over 2,700 people attend second open house to avail khata-related services

Bengaluru: Close to 2,700 citizens visited open house centres across the city on Saturday to avail various khata-related services.

The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is conducting open house meetings every Saturday across the five city corporations to make it easy for citizens to get e-khata, apply for B to A khata conversion, and apply for corrections or mutation.

Last week, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar launched the ‘My e-khata My Right’ campaign, terming it the state government’s sixth guarantee, Bhumi (Land) Guarantee.

On Saturday, 809 e-khata applications were received and 304 applications for conversion of B to A khata were received. A total of 1,972 applications were received across various categories on Saturday, and 1,164 applications were processed. However, this included many applications that were submitted last week as well.

Residents who had applied for khata services last week revisited the centres this week as well. While a few of their applications were processed, a few of them were asked to come back next week. These were mostly applications that needed additional scrutiny owing to the lack of a few documents, officials said.
