Karnataka Land Grabbing Prohibition Bill to be modified and brought before Assembly on September 22

Assembly Basavaraj Bommai

Following concern expressed by a few legislators, the State government on Wednesday announced that it would modify the Karnataka Land Grabbing Prohibition (Amendment) Bill, 2022, which seeks to keep farmers out of the ambit of stringent norms related to land-grabbing.

Announcing this, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the modified Bill would be brought before the Assembly on Thursday for consideration.

The Bill had sought to amend the Karnataka Land Grabbing Prohibition Act, 2011, to avoid criminal proceedings against farmers who have encroached the government land in rural areas by excluding all the places from the purview of this Act except the places within the limits of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike and the city corporations.
