The Karnataka State Human Rights Commission (KSHRC) has ordered the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) to provide temporary shelter, food, water, and medical aid to families evicted from Kogilu Layout. Following a demolition drive on December 20 to reclaim encroached land, displaced families faced harsh winter conditions. The KSHRC cited violations of constitutional rights, including the right to life and dignity, and expressed concern over the cold weather impacting the evictees' health. The government's plan to relocate them by January 1 is delayed due to eligibility criteria finalization.
