Probe by Justice P.N. Desai Commission: MUDA officials slog to submit 8 lakh records

Purchase 9 photocopying machines; to compile records from 2005 to 2024
Mysuru: The officers of Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) are grappling with an overwhelming task: Submitting eight lakh paper and ledger records to the Desai Commission, a one-man investigative body led by retired High Court Judge Justice P.N. Desai.
Established by the State Government, this Commission is tasked with probing the massive alternative site allotment scam, implicating top-level illegalities in MUDA’s site allocations.
With this monumental challenge, MUDA has been forced to purchase nine new photocopying machines, costing Rs. 19 lakh, to cope with the sheer volume of documents required for submission.
The staggering demand for records has placed immense pressure on MUDA officials, who must compile detailed documentation on illegal site allocations — including 50:50 ratio sites, incentive plots and alternative allotments — to present to the Commission.
