Karnataka Government Cancels 1,100 Mysuru Sites Allotted Under 50:50 Scheme
The Karnataka government has ordered the cancellation of around 1,100 alternative sites allotted under the Mysuru Development Authority's 50:50 scheme, citing violations of a March 2023 directive. The sites, valued at approximately Rs 2,000 crore, include some linked to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's family. Authorities have been directed to halt registration processes and consider civil suits to annul sale deeds. Political parties have reacted, with BJP calling the move a victory, while JD(S) urges cancellation of all illegal allotments since 2019, emphasizing the need for transparent procedures.
