Bengaluru: Previous landowners who lost their revenue plots to Dr Shivaram Karanth Layout have urged Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) to allot them alternative sites without imposing additional charges or conditions.In a representation to the BDA commissioner Wednesday, they said the applicants who had approached the Justice VG Bopaiah committee seeking alternative sites were yet to be considered, even as the authority began allotting sites to farmers and the general public on Aug 31, 2026.The representation said nearly 12 years had passed since they lost their properties and accused BDA of delaying the allotment process without adequately coordinating with affected owners. It recalled that the authority had earlier assured site owners that allotments would be made without conditions.The applicants have sought alternative sites in lieu of those acquired, preferably the same plots they originally owned, without additional charges. They have also demanded that sites in partially developed layouts be allotted to their respective owners and urged BDA to convene a meeting to address their concerns.
