"In view of such serious allegations, I have directed the heads concerned to furnish the exact number of such layouts formed by the BDA and whether any action has been initiated to remove such constructions. In case such layouts are excluded, then the reason for excluding them,” Justice Adi was quoted by the paper.A complaint demanding the removal of encroachments at Venkatarayanakere where BDA layout has been developed was also filed.“With respect to Venkatarayanakere, the BDA submitted that since the layout was already formed it was not feasible to cancel now.
