The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has started the allotment process for 10,000 sites in the new BDA layout, Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout, after eight years. Apply for the sites online and offline from Jan 25. The sites will be sold at Rs 4,900 per square foot. The layout, named Dr Shivaram Karanth Layout, has an open space of 58% and includes roads, parks, civic amenity sites, and a stadium. Transparent allotment of plots as per Supreme Court order.
Ironically, the BDA insists, while sanctioning the layout plan to the land developers, to ensure no distribution or allotment of sites till all the amenities are in place. Still, it has failed miserably to provide basic amenities at the layouts developed by it. The BDA has yet to provide amenities at many of the layouts developed by it.
