Karnataka Considers Regularization for Unapproved Buildings
The government in Karnataka is looking at helping buildings that don't have all the required permits.
They are discussing if they can make an exception to give these buildings water and electricity.
A big court order says they need to follow rules.
But, a lot of people live in these buildings.
They are holding meetings to figure out what to do.
They are also checking if they can provide these services and are planning a follow up meeting in October.
Karnataka government is considering one-time regularization.
Meeting focused on buildings lacking occupancy and completion certificates.
The Supreme Court mandated compliance with building regulations.
Officials will review applications up to March 2025.
