In the first phase, we have handed over 19 layouts including three MUDA layouts. Next month, we are planning to hand over a few more layouts or even all the layouts. Once it is handed over, the corporation will be providing all the basic facilities to the people. Apart from providing these basic facilities, the corporation will also be collecting tax from these layouts and they will be the authority to approve further plans. Only the vacant CA site will be our property”.
