In Hubballi's Kallur layout, homes built under the Smart City project for families displaced by the Vani Vilas Circle Road expansion remain unoccupied due to incomplete infrastructure work. Out of 80 completed homes, 47 have been allotted, but beneficiaries have not received possession. Delays in electrical meter installations, sanitation, and other basic amenities have caused the hold-up. Some homes have suffered minor damage over time. Civic authorities say the electrical work, costing around INR 4 lakh, is now complete, and handovers are expected soon.
In Hubballi's Kallur layout, housing units developed under the Smart City initiative to rehouse families displaced by the Vani Vilas Circle Road widening project are still unoccupied, leaving beneficiaries waiting for formal possession. The project includes 80 homes, completed in 2022, with 47 already allotted to eligible families in the past few months. Advertisement
The delay in handing over homes is primarily due to incomplete essential services such as electrical meter connections, sanitation, and other basic amenities. Civic officials had earlier suggested that allotment holders could take possession during a festive occasion this year, but unfinished work prevented the process.
Construction of these homes began around 2019 and was completed by 2022, but the installation of electricity meters became a key reason for delay. Officials stated that the installation cost approximately INR 4 lakh per meter, which contributed to the extended timeline. The HDMC has confirmed that the electrical work is now complete and handovers are expected shortly.
Local beneficiaries expressed concern over the prolonged wait. Many families had lost their previous homes due to the road expansion and have been anticipating a timely transition. Residents noted that, despite being ready to move in, they have been unable to do so due to pending fittings and functional utilities.
Over time, several homes have suffered minor deterioration, including broken windows and vandalism. The location, near the Unkal-Hosur bypass, has seen increased traffic and urban development, including a new bus terminal, raising concerns about access and safety for future residents.
City officials maintain that the main reason for delays was pending infrastructure work and have assured that possession will be finalized soon. Families are hopeful but remain concerned about the living conditions and the exact timeline for moving into their new homes.
