Karnataka Government Cancels 1,100 Mysuru Sites Under 50:50 Scheme Over Violations
The Karnataka government has ordered the cancellation of approximately 1,100 alternative housing sites worth around Rs 2,000 crore allotted under the Mysuru Development Authority's 50:50 land compensation scheme, citing violations of a March 14, 2023 directive. Urban Development Minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah announced the move following recommendations from an inquiry commission and a technical committee. Authorities have been instructed to halt issuing sale deeds and khatas for these sites and to consider civil suits to cancel already registered properties. The scheme has faced scrutiny after allegations involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's family.
