Karnataka Reverses Kogilu Demolitions, No Free Land for Encroachers

The Karnataka government has decided not to give free land to people who built houses illegally in Kogilu, a place in Bengaluru.

They had earlier started demolishing these houses but changed their mind after finding out that some people had fake IDs.

The government says they will only give new houses to people who are eligible and have paid for them.

The Kerala Chief Minister criticized this action, but the Karnataka government said they will not take advice from him.

They are also checking who helped these people build illegal houses and will take action against them.
