• Layouts pending for over 20 years • Vijaykumar Patil criticises BUDA

• Demand to release layout maps by February 28

• Warning of hunger strike if layouts are not developed

Vijaykumar Patil has alleged that no residential layouts have been developed by BUDA over the past 20 years.

Addressing a press conference held today in Belagavi, Patil said that land prices have skyrocketed to lakhs of rupees per gunta, pushing the public into severe financial distress. He accused BUDA of complete negligence, stating that despite preparing master plans, not a single layout has been developed.

He warned that a hunger strike would be launched in the coming days if the issue is not addressed. In this regard, a memorandum has been submitted to the District Collector, demanding that the town planning layout maps be released by February 28.

Patil further urged that all pending layouts before BUDA be developed immediately without yielding to any political influence or pressure.

The press conference was attended by Juned Pasha, Shabbir Mulla, Rizwan Makanadar, and several others.
