TDR can be enforced only if the owner is willing
Right to Information (RTI) documents have thrown up the surprising and hitherto well-hidden clause which brings relief to property owners who were likely to affect as the part of road widening project. RTI document states that properties can be acquired for road-widening only under TDR.The catch — which favours the home owners — comes in the next clause. TDR can be enforced only if the owner is willing. According to the current law, under Transferable Development Rights (TDR), if a person doesn’t want to give his/her property for road-widening, then he/she need not. If he isn’t willing, the only option open to BBMP is to forcibly acquire the property by paying current market rates under the Karnataka Land Acquisition Act.
In April, residents of Sarjapur Road received a notice from the BBMP, informing them about acquisition of a portion of their property for road widening. The notice says the road is to be widened by 45 feet and that the Apartment Association should submit land records using the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) form. There is much anguish and hand wringing in the city about people losing valuable parts of their cherished homes to road-widening.
If the property owners are not willing give their land to BBMP for road-widening, the only option open to BBMP is to forcibly acquire the property by paying current market rates under the Karnataka Land Acquisition Act. The process of acquisition of properties under the Karnataka Land Acquisition Act is very expensive, tedious and time-consuming and as such not a route preferred by BBMP to acquire land for road-widening. If property owners isn’t willing, the only option open to BBMP is to forcibly acquire the property under the Karnataka Land Acquisition Act which is virtually unaffordable for a corporation.

BWSSB 24/7 call centre to address public grievances
From August, BWSSB consumers can lodge their complaints on problems such as interruption in water supply, contamination, theft, overflowing manholes and leakage with the call centre. The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) is setting up a 24/7 call centre at its main office in Cauvery Bhavan which is likely to commence its operation from first week of August.
The call centre will be connected with all 104 service stations located across the BWSSB’s limits. Consumers can also lodge their complaint at the nearest service station. Plans are also on cards to set up the service stations in all 198 wards of the BBMP. Besides, a six-member mobile squads will be formed for every four assembly constituencies. The squad will address major problems, Minister in-charge of Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Katta Subramanya Naidu added.
Naidu said the much-delayed underground drainage (UGD) project in the newly-added areas of the BBMP has commenced. Nearly 2,000 km of UGD line will be laid under the project, which is expected to be completed by 2012, he added.
The BWSSB will set up 18 treatment plants across Bangalore, including one in Yalahanka. An estimated 600 million litre of water per day will be treated in these plants and supplied for industrial and non-potable use. As many as 18,250 people have adopted rain water harvesting technique ever since it was made mandatory. “Though it has been made mandatory, we will not force the consumers to adopt it,” he stated.
