Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai announced that the Onti Mane scheme, where the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) gave financial assistance to the poor to build a house if they owned their own site, will soon be restarted.
“The scheme that helped the poor and oppressed communities build their own homes was unfortunately discontinued during the pandemic. We will restart the scheme and I will issue a formal order over the same soon,” Mr. Bommai said, after he inaugurated and laid foundation stones for a slew of development works in Chickpet. He said a quota will soon be fixed on the number of beneficiaries per each ward in the city.
The Chief Minister also said that the government had taken up all measures to implement the Akrama-Sakrama scheme to regularise revenue pockets in the city, where it was the poor who had mostly bought properties.
