The Bangalore Development Authority came into existence in 1976 as a successor to the erstwhile City Improvement Trust Board. Development of Bangalore in a
planned manner, creating quality infrastructure, provision of sites and services and
catering to the housing needs of the under privileged are the focus areas of the BDA.
Since inception, the BDA has allotted 76,000 sites to individuals for construction of
residential dwellings. In addition, more than 800 civic amenity sites have been given for
use by various public utilities, as also organisation, catering to the felt needs of the
particular locality.
The BDA proposes to allot 10,000 sites during the current year, The Outer Ring Road from Hosur Road to Tumkur Road which
intersects three National Highways will be opened for traffic in June 2000. This would
ensure that nearly 10,000 trucks do not cris cross the city every day. The positive impact
of this on traffic management, pollution, condition of roads and above all safety of lives
would be tangible. By December 2000 with the co-operation of Bangalore Iron & Steel
Merchants Association (BISMA), it is proposed to shift the Iron & Steel whole sale
market to the outskirts of Bangalore to a place called Kondasapura.
To honour our commitment of 10,000 sites by
the end of the year, we have today taken the first step of allotting 1,500 sites. |
