MDA carries out eviction drive on 8.28 acre of land near Outer Ring Road
Amid heavy police security, the MDA personnel deployed earthmovers to clear the 4.36 acre of land on survey number 108 and 3.32 acre on survey number 109 in Basavanahalli village of Mysuru taluk that had been acquired for developing Vijaynagar 4th Stage.
The MDA reclaimed the land despite resistance by land owners. According to the MDA, the land measuring 8.28 acre had been acquired for developing the Vijaynagar 4th stage extension through a preliminary notification issued on December 23, 1991 and final notification on December 10, 1992.
The award money of ₹4,55,506 finalised on August 6, 1994, had been deposited in the court on March 5, 2002.
The land owners had moved the court for dropping the acquisition as the layout project was not implemented, but the High Court had ruled in favour of the Authority, said MDA secretary Prasanna.
The eviction drive was carried out after the MDA Zone 3 officer submitted report that two houses had been built on the acquired land, while gravel and timber had been dumped illegally.

Rohith Vemula suicide case to be reopened, Telangana deputy CM says
The Telangana government has filed a legal note to reopen the Rohith Vemula suicide case, state's deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said. 'We have already filed a note in the High Court asking the court to give direction to reopen the case. And we will not leave anybody involved in the case,' Vikramarka said. He was speaking in a press meet held at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) office in New Delhi on the appointment of Ramchander Rao as Telangana BJP president. Rao, an MLC then, was one of the accused named in the Rohith Vemula suicide case. 'It (the appointment) shows that whoever goes against Adivasis and whoever goes against Dalits will be rewarded by the BJP,' Vikramarka alleged. 'The BJP has to apologise to the nation. Is targeting Dalits the qualification for you (BJP) to appoint as president,' he sought to know. Rohith Vemula, who identified as a Dalit, a research scholar in University of Hyderabad, died by suicide 2016, leadings to country-wide protests against caste discrimination in higher educational institutions. Shortly after his demise, a case of abetment of suicide and charges under Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989, was filed against the then Vice Chancellor Apparao Podile, then Union minister Bandaru Dattatreya, then MLC N Ramchander Rao, and then university students Krishna Chaitanya, N Susheel Kumar and N Diwakar. Eight years after his demise, in May 2024, Telangana police filed a closure report in the case absolving all the accused in the case. The closure report also said that Rohith Vemula was not a Dalit but an OBC. The deputy chief minister also said that on the call given by Rahul Gandhi, Telangana government will enact Rohith Vemula Act meant to curb discrimination in educational institutions. 'We are on the job and we have given it to the legal department to vet it properly and thoroughly so that it will not face any sort of (legal) challenge in the future,' Vikramarka said. Calling Rohith Vemula's suicide an institutional murder, Vikramarka added, 'A youngster, who had reached the level of PhD… A youngster who had dreams of living and leading a colourful life had gone to the extent of taking a decision of ending his life. Just think, why are these kinds of things driving them to take the extreme step? Is it not an institutional murder?'

Jail up to 7 yrs, ₹5 lakh fine key features of cleared Maha security bill
Imprisonment of up to seven years, a fine of up to Rs 5 lakh, classification of offences registered under it as cognisable and non-bailable are key features of a special bill passed by the Maharashtra legislature to curb activities of Left-wing extremist organisations. The Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill, 2024, passed in the council on Friday and in the assembly on Thursday, introduced strict measures against individuals and organisations involved in activities declared as "unlawful." It will come into force on receiving the Governor's assent. The most serious offences, such as committing, abetting, or planning unlawful activities on behalf of such organisations, are punishable with imprisonment of up to seven years and a fine of up to Rs 5 lakh. Since all offences under the law are cognisable and non-bailable, police can arrest individuals without a warrant, and courts are not obliged to grant bail, stated the bill. These actions are punishable with imprisonment ranging from two to seven years. Even individuals who are not members (of outfits banned under the new legislation), but are found to be contributing money, soliciting funds, or sheltering members of such organisations can face up to two years in jail and a fine of up to Rs 2 lakh, it stated. The bill allows the government to designate any organisation as unlawful if it is found to disrupt public order, incite violence, promote disobedience to law, or interfere with communication systems. Once an organisation is declared unlawful, the state is empowered to take possession of its properties, seize its assets, and prohibit access to its funds, it said. Offences under the bill include being a member of an unlawful organisation, attending or promoting its meetings, helping to manage its affairs, or participating in any unlawful activities linked to the organisation. It authorises the government to take strict action against properties and financial resources of unlawful organisations. This includes taking over buildings used by these groups, evicting those occupying such spaces, confiscating movable property found at those locations, and freezing or forfeiting organisational funds. Before an organisation is officially declared unlawful, the government's decision must be reviewed and approved by an advisory board constituted under the bill. The declaration comes into effect only after the board gives its clearance. The law also limits the role of courts in challenging the government's actions under this legislation. Judicial review is barred except in matters related to the forfeiture of funds, which may only be contested before the High Court, the bill said. Despite criticism, the BJP-led Mahayuti government has defended the need for such a stringent bill, arguing it will enable more effective action against threats to public order specific to the state.
