MLA Orders Joint Survey for Title Deed Issuance

Somwarpet, Oct. 2: Residents of Yalakanuru and Katikoppalu villages—falling under the Nerugalale Gram Panchayat—voiced their grievances to MLA Dr. Manthar Gowda, stating that despite having applied for title deeds years ago, they have not yet received the necessary documents.

During a public outreach meeting held in Katikoppalu village, presided over by MLA Dr. Manthar Gowda, residents alleged that the Forest Department was harassing them regarding their housing sites.

Records from the 1950 *Jamabandi* (land revenue settlement) indicate that the land located at Survey Number 36/6 in Katikoppalu village is classified as *Paisari* (government-owned land). More than 40 villagers had previously paid ₹3,500 each for 3.75 cents of land and submitted a report to the government.

Furthermore, the government had issued 'OM Forms' to 50 families displaced by the Hemavathi River project within this same survey number. Additionally, in 2006, the then Deputy Commissioner Subodh Yadav had issued an order reserving 150 acres of land in Survey Number 36/6 specifically for the purpose of issuing title deeds for housing sites. Despite this, Sachin, the President of the Village Development Committee, alleged during the meeting that officials have been stalling the issuance of title deeds for the 3.75-cent plot of land. He further stated that the Forest Department is harassing villagers because the land in Survey No. 36/6 adjoins forest land. After listening to public grievances, MLA Dr. Manthar Gowda remarked that officials should not play with the lives of local residents; instead, they should provide accurate information and cooperate with the public. He instructed officials from the Forest and Revenue Departments to conduct a joint survey of the land in Survey No. 36/6 and submit a report within 15 days. Kiran, a villager, complained that although approximately ₹40 lakh was released through the Nirmiti Kendra for developing the road to the Old Madalapura Jenu Kuruba colony, the concrete roadwork was of extremely poor quality. He alleged that despite bringing the matter to the attention of the concerned officials, none of them had visited the site, and the road had developed cracks within just fifteen days of its construction.
