Mysuru: MUDA Commissioner Dr. M. Mahesh has directed the City Planning Cell to itself send reports on acquisition of land in villages and not to refer the files received from the DC office seeking opinion on land conversion and acquisition in villages, to the Land Acquisition Cell.

Hitherto, the MUDA was despatching land conversion/acquisition files sent by the DC office to its Land Acquisition Cell. But the Cell was taking too long to send its opinion besides causing a lot of inconvenience to the farmers, who were made to visit the office a number of times.
