Karnataka Faces Construction Crisis Over Utility Connections

A recent court decision in Karnataka is causing problems for people building new homes.

The court said you can't get electricity, water, or sewer connections if your building doesn't have two special certificates.

This is a problem because many buildings don't have these yet.

Over 300,000 people are affected, and some buildings might not even get basic services.

A lawyer is asking the government to change the rules so people can get utilities first and then get the certificates.

If the issue isn't fixed, it could stop a lot of new house building in the state.
