60 houses in Bengaluru demolished without notice
The Morning Standard
|January 09, 2026
AS part of its land reclamation drive Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA) on Thursday demolished over 60 houses at Thanisandra in Bengaluru North.
The reclaimed property is said to be worth around ₹80 crore.
On Thursday, around 150 police personnel, 50 BDA staff, including revenue officers and land surveyors, carried out the demolition drive, by deploying bulldozers to raze the structures. "Since it is a BDA property, it is not mandatory for notice to encroachers," said an official. The drive was halted in the evening, leaving barely a few houses in 2 acres untouched. The BDA officials said that it has arranged shelter for the evictees at Hegde Nagar Community Hall and would deploy mobile toilets. "Food and water will also be provided temporarily," said an official.
The residents, however, contested the BDA action and claimed they have been paying property taxes.
