Residency Certificate Issue Hinders Plot Allotment for BDA's Dr. K. Shivaram Karanta Layout

Plot aspirants are facing difficulties obtaining plots in the Dr. K. Shivaram Karanta Layout, developed by the Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA). The allotment requires a certificate proving residency in the state for a minimum of 15 years. However, sub-tehsildars and tehsildars at the Bengaluru Urban District offices are issuing residency certificates for a maximum period of 10 years. BDA has invited applications from the public for plot allotment starting August 31. The Authority's Commissioner, P. Manivannan, wrote to the Additional Chief Secretary of the Revenue Department, requesting a solution to the issue.
