Belagavi Cantonment Land Transfer and Road Closure Proposals Under Review
The Belagavi district administration has requested the transfer of approximately 860 acres of land from the Cantonment Board to the city corporation, following Union government directions on excising civilian areas within military zones. The Cantonment Board is still considering the proposal, which has caused uncertainty among citizens and contractors. Separately, over 14,000 residents petitioned the Board against closing key roads and installing barricades in the cantonment area, citing potential inconvenience. The Board has assured that all concerns and legal aspects will be reviewed before decisions are made.
