Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA) demolished over 10 houses and sheds in Ashwath Nagar near Thanisandra, claiming the land was BDA property and occupied illegally. Residents allege no prior notice was given, despite possessing documents like e-Khata and paying property taxes. They claim to have lived there for years, with some families losing significant savings. The BDA Commissioner acknowledged a potential lapse in issuing notices and stated arrangements for rehabilitation would be made. Affected families, including tenants, have refused relocation, citing fears and hardship.
