Almost half of Bengaluru's converted agricultural land is illegal, and it's 90% in Karnataka, says report

Nearly 90% of non-agricultural farmlands in Karnataka do not have the necessary legal approvals. This major issue has resulted in unauthorised constructions across the state. The problem stemmed from the government's attempt to link Aadhaar with land records. Issues like urban planning challenges, flooding, and congestion are direct consequences of these unauthorised conversions.
