MUDA and private layouts under MCC purview soon
Mysuru: The long-awaited transformation has begun for MUDA and private layouts on the outskirts of Mysuru, which had struggled without basic infrastructure like drinking water, streetlights and roads. Process of transferring these layouts to MCC and respective local bodies has started.
Hundreds of such layouts across Mysuru lacked essential amenities. While some fall under MCC jurisdiction, others are managed by City Municipal Councils (CMC), Town Panchayats (TP) and Gram Panchayats (GP). Residents of these layouts had repeatedly appealed to MUDA for basic services, property documentation and tax payment guidance. MUDA dismissed their requests, claiming the areas weren’t under its jurisdiction and directing them to the nearby CMC, TPs or GPs.
However, when residents turned to local body officials, they were told the layouts were not yet under their responsibility as MUDA was yet to formally handover the management and were sent back to MUDA. This left residents of hundreds of layouts in confusion and helplessness.
In response, residents appealed to the District Administration, expressing their willingness to pay taxes and requesting basic services. This led to the start of the process of transferring MUDA and private layouts to local bodies.
This shift brings relief to many residents who had long been without property registration, tax clarity or essential services. It also fulfils a long-standing demand.
