Jai Hind All,

A Happy 75th Indian Independence Day and a blessed long weekend to all. Thanks for your support in signing my petition. 

I continue my quest to complete the registration of the land acquired my father over 25 years ago. I went to the land yesterday and planted a Tiranga in support of #HarGharTiranga.

After the article with my story was featured in Times of India last month, I went and met the Deputy Commissioner of Bengaluru Urban. (Link to article: 5 years after court direction to deputy commissioner, man still awaits khata). The DC heard me out and directed the Office Manager (OM) to review my issue. The OM called the manager and case worker and explained two reasons for delay

• The DC Office has not received the office copy of the Grant Deed for my case - I think this is just an excuse since they got the Grant Deed for other cases in same grant in Survey #36. These cases in neighboring land have been approved in 2020!
• The "Special DC-1" for Bengaluru North is yet to take charge. This is again not acceptable since the HC order was given 5 years ago. DC office cannot indefinitely defer review of cases 

As we celebrate #IndiaAt75  #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav and #IndependenceDay we hope good governance prevails and we are rid of the scourge of bribery and corruption at local levels.
