Any news regarding the MUDA site allotments? There was going to be some announcement this month, but we are close to end of the month and no news yet. There was some statement from MUDA commissioner C G Betsurmath that only people who have applied 5 times or greater will be allotted. It would be helpful if any of Mysore members can provide any additional information in this regard.

The countdown for the allotment of sites developed by the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) has begun with the Authority reaching the final stage of distributing the sites created at three layouts — R.T.Nagar, Lalithadri Nagar and Chamalapura. With the data entry of applications submitted for sites and scrutiny nearing completion, the aspirants' long-cherished dream of owning a residential plot in Mysore will be realised soon.

MUDA has announced that the site allotment will be done in a transparent manner and a system has been developed in which there is absolutely no scope for wrongdoing. A whopping 85,748 people have applied for 3,099 sites in the three layouts.

MUDA Commissioner C.G. Betsurmath told The Hindu that the sites will be allotted either by the end of February or early March as the process with regard to the allotment was going on at a brisk pace. A seniority list or a master list of site aspirants was being prepared taking into consideration the number of attempts made for the sites.

For the first time, all the applications had been scanned and the data had been stored. The applications have been classified according to the layout, site dimension, and the category under which the site had been sought, according to Mr. Betsurmath. The Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) collected from the applicants would be returned immediately to those who do not get the allotment, the Commissioner said.

MUDA sources say that those who had applied more than five times had a fair chance of getting it.

Prices fixed

The price fixed for the sites is as follows:

R.T. Nagar: Rs. 19.01 lakh for a 50 x 80 site; Rs. 10 lakh for a 40 x 60 site; Rs 3.80 lakh for a 30 x 40 site; and Rs 1.36 lakh for a 20 x 30 site.

Lalithadrinagar: Rs. 16.19 lakh for a 50 x 80 site; Rs. 8.61 lakh for a 40 x 60 site;, Rs. 3.24 lakh for a 30 x 40 site; and Rs. 1.16 lakh for a 20 x 30 site.

Chamalapura: Rs. 7.25 lakh for a 50 x 80 site; Rs. 3.85 lakh for a 40 x 60 site; Rs. 1.45 lakh for a 30 x 40 site; and Rs. 50,000 for a 20 x 30 site.

To meet the demand, MUDA has proposed six new layouts to distribute nearly 15,000 sites. The process of acquiring nearly 1,500 acres of land surrounding Mysore had been taken up and it is in various stages. The six new layouts are Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar Nagar, Swarna Jayanthi Nagar, Lalithadrinagar 2nd Stage, Lal Bahadur Shastri Nagar 2nd Stage, Shantaveri Gopalagowda Nagar 2nd Stage, and R.T. Nagar 2nd Stage.

Priority sought

Local applicants had been demanding priority in the allotment of sites. More than 1.50 lakh applications are pending before MUDA, including several from outside Mysore. MUDA authorities had earlier said that applications from aspirants living outside Mysore would be sent to their respective urban development authorities for scrutiny. The verification is underway, sources in MUDA said.

Sources said the allotment of sites at Rabindranath Tagore Nagar and Lalithadri Nagar is expected to fetch big revenue for MUDA, which has enhanced the rate following rise in development cost. Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar Nagar covers Lingambudhi and Yadahalli villages; Swarna Jayanthi Nagar includes Halalu and Chowdahalli; Lalithadripura II Stage covers Lalithadripura; Shanthaveri Gopala Gowda II Stage includes Hosahundi, Bandipalya and Uttanahalli; Lal Bahadur Shastri Nagar II Stage covers Chikkahalli, Choranahalli and Yandahalli; and R.T. Nagar II Stage includes Kergalli.

Auction

MUDA is setting aside a large chunk of money for the completion of new layouts and other projects. To mobilise revenue for the new projects, MUDA had taken up the mega auction of its commercial property and corner sites. The auction has been fetching good revenue.

Taking a cue from the Bangalore Development Authority, MUDA took the e-auction route to market its prime property for mopping up resources for its development projects. Many prime property in layouts such as Dattagalli third stage, Vijayanagar, Devanoor, and Nachanahalli had come under the hammer in recent auctions.

At a recent board meeting here, there was a discussion on reviving the Heritage Park project, which has not seen the light of the day despite being proposed by the MUDA several years ago. There have been talks to develop stalls where visitors could interact with artisans and buy dolls, sculptures, pottery, and ornamental items; a performance court to showcase culture from different parts of the State; a coconut grove; an arecanut grove; and a food complex to serve specialities from various districts of the State at the heritage park. But, till date, there is absolutely no headway in the project in spite of fencing the allotted area located at the foot of Chamundi Hills near Lalitha Mahal Palace.

The foundation stone for the park was laid seven years ago. This park was proposed to prevent haphazard growth around Lalitha Mahal Palace and around the base of Chamundi Hills. When the project was announced, MUDA had said the heritage park would be “different” since horticulture, archaeology and heritage experts would be involved in drawing up the plan.

Infrastructure Development Corporation Karnataka Limited (I-DECK) had prepared the park's DPR in 2008 in accordance with the objectives with which MUDA proposed the plan. It was later submitted to the Centre for funds under JNNURM.

Has any heard or received any update regarding the allotment? Please post any information.

Mysore, Mar. 14- Site aspirants of the city can finally realise their long-cherished dream of owning a plot to build their dream homes on, as the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) is ready to allot 3,900 sites in the newly developed Lalithadripura, Rabindranath Tagore Nagar and Chamalapura residential layouts next month.

MUDA Chairman L. Nagendra, accompanied by Commissioner Dr. C.G. Betsurmath, Superintending Engineer Shivakumar, Executive Engineer Veerabhadraiah, Secretary M.R. Ravikumar, Town Planning member M.N. Kumar and Zonal Officers inspected Lalithadripura, where 1,300 sites are formed for allotment.

The team inspected the roads, water connections, electricity supply, park, open spaces and underground drainage system.

Gayatripuram

The team inspected Beggars' Rehabilitation Centre readied at a cost of Rs. 1 crore in Gayatripuram, said to be capable of accommodating 1,000 beggars.

The team also inspected the ongoing widening work on Ring Road. A meeting was later held at MUDA office to review preparations for site allotment process.

Speaking to press persons, Nagendra said, "Everything is set for allotment of 1,400 sites in La-lithadripura, 1,900 in R.T. Nagar and 600 in Chamalapura. The process of allotment will be formally launched by the CM next month. The probable list of allottees will be out by March end."

Continuing, Nagendra said that the work on the construction of the second floor of MUDA office was almost complete, which too would be inaugurated next month along with the much-awaited digital library which has stored all records in computers.

He added that a new inspection vehicle costing about Rs. 25 lakh would be purchased for the inspection team to go around the city, which hitherto was done in cars. The modern crematorium in Vijayanagar 4th Stage too would be inaugurated next month.

Its very funny. Its the duty of MUDA to made the allotment list and release it to the Public. Why does MUDA is waiting for CM to release the allotment list of the recently made 3 MUDA layouts? If CM released the list of allotment, does it make any difference for the applicants. Simply these guys are delaying and minting interest fromt he applicants initial deposit.

MUDA should have responsibility that, Applicants have paid money and loosing their return on their investment.

MUDA does not care for what customers have to say/want. All they care is to fill their pockets at our expense. For that matter their website has also be taken down and no efforts been made to restore it. No timeline is mentioned as to when they will be back online.
Initially they announced that they will have the allotment list by Feb end, but come Feb end, it was postponed to Mar end. And now some other excuse to delay announcement. I guess they are currently bidding among themselves and other known cronies(who will all secure a site) to get the largest bribe they can. All the allotment based on merit, eligibility etc is just for public consumption and media outlets. Everyone knows what goes on behind the scenes. People wanting to get sites through proper means, will keep waiting and other folks with insider contacts at MUDA will walk away with their priced possession.

Does any member have infomation on the MUDA sites which were auctioned yesterday?

Any updates ?

I guess they will not release the allotment list this month also. Those morons at MUDA cannot be trusted with their words. They have been delaying from Feb with the sole intention of gathering interest on the crores of rupees they have from the application fee. Is there a way to express our displeasure about this delay and complain to anybody at all?

How much does the price appriciate on Auction ?

Any news regarding the site allotments? When can we realistically expect some news about the allotment list and when can we get back our money if we don't get allotted? Any news that can shared would be appreciated.
