The Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association of India (CREDAI) of Karnataka has asked to make amendments in Karnataka Land Reforms Act which was announced recently.
According to the new Land Reforms Act, a non-grower cannot buy agricultural land for the owners. The association has requested the state government to give freedom to the lands which are marked under BDA, BIAAPA, BMRDA among others in Bangalore.
It also requested that all lands marked for development in Mysore, Mangalore, Gulbarga and other cities should be excused from the application of Land Reforms Act. As all these lands are marked for development either for residential or industrial purposes so these lands should be exempted. Also it can assume that all these lands have lost their agricultural status, so the body requested the Government to exempt the lands.
The governing body said that the state has not declared the policy for quarrying of sand due to which the construction industry is facing a lot of problems in getting sand for development. The body was worried about the situation it the problem continues for more one or two months, then the entire construction will come to a standstill.
Enormous people who depend on the construction activities will lose their jobs and due to ban on crushing of jelly industry, which was barred by Pollution Control Board.
After the reform the registration of sites in BIAPPA and BMRDA area has been stopped for the past four months on the ground that the khatha extract, which is used for registration issued by the panchayat authorities concerned, should be from a computer format.
