The Bangalore Development Authority on Tuesday served notices on nearly 150 house owners in Banashankari III Stage, V Block. This is the second attempt by the BDA to take back over five acres of land which it claims has been illegally occupied by the residents.
The BDA had made a similar attempt in 2015 and the matter went to the High Court. With no stay order preventing it, BDA has issued the show-cause notices which the residents have to reply to within 10 days. The area in question is the one behind the Kamakya film theatre on the Ring Road.
