MDA carries out eviction drive on 8.28 acre of land near Outer Ring Road
The Mysuru Development Authority (MDA) carried out an eviction drive in Basavanahalli village near Outer Ring Road in the city early on Monday to reclaim 8.28 acre of land.
Amid heavy police security, the MDA personnel deployed earthmovers to clear the 4.36 acre of land on survey number 108 and 3.32 acre on survey number 109 in Basavanahalli village of Mysuru taluk that had been acquired for developing Vijaynagar 4th Stage.
The MDA reclaimed the land despite resistance by land owners. According to the MDA, the land measuring 8.28 acre had been acquired for developing the Vijaynagar 4th stage extension through a preliminary notification issued on December 23, 1991 and final notification on December 10, 1992.
The award money of ₹4,55,506 finalised on August 6, 1994, had been deposited in the court on March 5, 2002.
The land owners had moved the court for dropping the acquisition as the layout project was not implemented, but the High Court had ruled in favour of the Authority, said MDA secretary Prasanna.
The eviction drive was carried out after the MDA Zone 3 officer submitted report that two houses had been built on the acquired land, while gravel and timber had been dumped illegally.

U.S. Supreme Court allows Trump to restart swift deportation of migrants away from their home countries
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to restart swift removals of migrants to countries other than their homelands on Monday (June 23, 2025), lifting for now a court order requiring they get a chance to challenge the deportations. The High Court's action came after immigration officials put eight people on a plane to South Sudan in May, a move that U.S. District Judge Brian E Murphy in Boston found violated his order. The migrants from countries including Myanmar, Vietnam and Cuba had been convicted of serious crimes in the U.S. and immigration officials have said that they were unable to return them quickly to their home countries. Authorities instead landed the plane at a U.S. naval base in Djibouti, where the migrants were housed in a converted shipping container and the officers guarding them faced rough conditions even as immigration attorneys waited for word from their clients. The case comes amid a sweeping immigration crackdown by Republican President Donald Trump's administration, which has pledged to deport millions of people who are living in the United States illegally.

MDA reclaims encroached land in west Mysuru by demolishing illegal structures
Mysuru: Mysuru Development Authority (MDA) reclaimed its encroached property by demolishing a few structures and removing the occupants early on Monday. About eight and a half acres of land worth Rs 160 crore was taken into possession under police cover. MDA special land acquisition officer KR Rakshith, who is the in-charge commissioner of MDA, informed TOI that the property was situated in a prime location in west Mysuru and attached to the Outer Ring Road. Temporary structures constructed by encroachers were demolished using earthmovers. The structures were built with the intention to grab the property that was acquired by the urban body in the early 1990s. The illegal occupants left their aged relatives and parents to avoid any legal complications involving themselves. The MDA team, which sought police protection for the operation, successfully evacuated them by removing all their belongings from the temporary sheds and safely vacated them from the spot. Earthmovers were used to bring down the sheds. According to Rakshith, the total value of the market is about Rs 160 crore. About two families, all aged people, lived on the MDA land. MDA would clean up the area and fence it to avoid any further encroachment of the land in Vijayanagar IV stage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Top 25 Most Beautiful Women In The World Articles Vally An officer claimed the land, approximately 8 acres and 18 guntas, was acquired by the MDA (earlier Muda) in the early 1990s and award money was deposited in the court.
