Improvement charges
As a means to garner more revenue, the former Mayor S.K. Nataraj and Kacharakanahalli councillor Padmanabha Reddy suggested that the BBMP should collect improvement charges from citizens who want khata for their revenue sites. “There are nearly three lack revenue properties. If the BBMP starts collecting improvement charges, many citizens who are waiting for khata will benefit. The civic body can do so pending approval from the government,” Mr. Reddy said. Mr. Nataraj said though a gazette notification had been issued in this regard, it was not being implemented.
Mr. Siddaiah explained that the Karnataka Land Revenue Act first needed to be amended, before the BBMP could start collecting the charges.
Earlier, Yediyur councillor N.R. Ramesh alleged that there were several scams in the Forest Department. He alleged that there was a scam in procurement of saplings from nurseries in other States.
He charged that officials were creating bogus bills. As a solution, he suggested that the BBMP entrust the responsibility to the Horticulture Department.
