The Karnataka government has ordered the cancellation of around 1,100 alternative site allotments made under the controversial 50:50 scheme in Mysuru. The government stated that the allotments were made despite a March 14, 2023 directive stopping such allotments. The decision follows recommendations from a single-member inquiry commission and a high-level technical committee. The sites involved are estimated to be worth nearly ₹2,000 crore. Authorities have also been instructed to initiate legal proceedings for cancellation of registered sale deeds and to stop new registrations and processing of khatas related to the affected sites. The development has once again brought the MUDA site-allotment issue into the political spotlight in Mysuru.
