According to a release issued by HDUDA, the authority has already initiated a survey to identify unauthorised and illegal residential layouts. And, they will be cleared in a phased manner.
On Thursday, structures that had come up in two unauthorised layouts developed in an area of 5.28 acres and 1.6 acres, respectively, at Thimmasagar village in Hubballi taluk located on the outskirts of Hubballi were razed to the ground. This apart, a few illegal layouts adjoining Kempakere and a solid waste management unit off Karwar Road were also cleared.
Mr. Biradar has through the press release said that the drive against unauthorised layouts will continue and all such layouts will be cleared. He has also appealed to the people to be cautious while investing in residential layouts. They should first check whether the developer has taken all the requisite permissions from the competent authorities, including HDUDA, he said.
