KUDA identifies unapproved layouts in Kurnool, to initiate action

KUDA identifies unapproved layouts in Kurnool, to initiate action

The Hindu
Thursday, April 10, 2025 5:59 AM GMT

Kurnool Urban Development Authority (KUDA) cracking down on unapproved layouts and unauthorized buildings in Mantralayam, taking strict action.

Kurnool Urban Development Authority (KUDA) has identified nearly 275 unapproved layouts in its jurisdiction and is all set to take action against them. These non-approved layouts have come up over the past few years and a majority of them during the previous YSRC regime, officials said.

The Authority is also initiating action against the hotels that were constructed in violation of the approved plan in the famous pilgrim town of Mantralayam.

Speaking with The Hindu, KUDA chairman Somishetty Venkateswarlu said he personally visited several villages and found that majority of layouts were not having approval from the authority. “Following this, we have given wide publicity in the villages not to purchase plots in non-approved layouts and avoid investing in them,’’ he said.

Mr. Venkateswarlu said those who buy plots in non-approved layouts will end up in various complications including inability to get a loan on their house.

It came to the notice of the KUDA officials that the layout promoters have taken permission from the local panchayats by claiming that they are constructing houses in a lesser extend of land and got water and power connections. The panchayat secretary can give permission for less than seven cents of lands only.

With this, the KUDA is also planning to hold a workshop with all the panchayat secretaries and educate them to insist the promoters to get their layouts approved by the KUDA.

The KUDA had now served notices on the promoters to get the layouts regularised. With the layouts taken up without permission, the KUDA had lost a revenue of nearly ₹3 crore, he said.
