The Kalaburagi Urban Development Authority has decided to constitute a task force, headed by Additional Regional Commissioner, to tackle the problem of illegal private residential layouts mushrooming on the fringes of Kalaburagi.

A decision to this effect was taken in the general body meeting of the KUDA, chaired by chairman of the KUDA Mohammad Asgar Chulbul and attended by Iqbal Ahmed Saradgi, MLC, Mayor Bhimreddy Patil and other senior officials of the city corporation and KUDA.

The task force has been mandated with the powers to identify illegal private layouts and initiate legal action against them.

In another decision, a five-member sub-committee has been constituted under the chairmanship of Mr. Chulbul to distribute residential plots in the Atal Behari Vajpayee Layouts on the National Highway connecting Gulbarga and Bijapur.

Mr. Chulbul said that the general body also discussed the need to create more layouts in the city to meet the growing demand for houses and it was decided to identify the suitable locations for forming new layouts after obtaining the necessary permissions from the State government.
