Karnataka govt cancels allotment of 48 MUDA sites in Mysuru
Mysuru (Karnataka), Dec 3: The Karnataka government has cancelled the allotment of 48 MUDA sites, which were allotted by a resolution on March 23, 2023.
According to sources in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority ((MUDA), the sites were located in Dattagalli in Mysuru city.
The MUDA cancelled the allotment following an order by the Urban Development Department on November 30, 2024, they added.
The reason behind the cancellation was its allotment allegedly against the rules, sources said without elaborating the violations that took place in the allotment.
However, this was not allotted under the controversial 50:50 scheme, which is being probed by the Lokayukta as well as the Enforcement Directorate after it came out that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife Parvathi B M too benefited with 14 MUDA sites in the Mysuru upmarket.
While the Lokayukta police registered an FIR against Siddaramaiah, Parvathi, his brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy and others, Parvathi wrote to MUDA to cancel the allotment of sites.

Speaker cautions MPs against protests at Parliament's entry gate
New Delhi (PTI): Against the backdrop of Opposition members holding protests at the entry gate of Parliament House, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday urged MPs not to create hindrances as it obstructs those entering the building, especially women members.
His appeal came a day after the Lok Sabha secretariat urged MPs not to hold protests in front of the gates of Parliament House, contending that such obstruction of movement could affect their safety and security.
"I request all political parties not to obstruct the entry gate when others are entering the building (to attend proceedings).
"Women MPs have personally flagged their difficulty. I have already given directions and I request once again that if there is an issue, meet me but there should be no obstruction at the entry gate," Birla said ahead of Zero Hour.
He said members should follow parliamentary decorum.
Some opposition MPs were heard saying that the ruling BJP had started the practice of protest at the gate.
The secretariat's advisory on Tuesday came on a day parliamentarians held protests on the steps of Makar Dwar of Parliament, a gate reserved exclusively for their use and that of the officials.
"Members are requested not to hold protests or demonstrations in front of gates of Parliament House as such actions cause serious hindrance to the movement of members to the Parliament Chambers during sittings of the Houses," the advisory said.
It said that keeping building gates free from any blockage was also essential for ensuring safety and security of members in the Parliament House.
