By November 1 the state government’s Sakala scheme would cover the entire state. Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board and Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) services along with 115 others are being brought under the scheme.
The BDA services that come under Sakala include, building plan approval, occupancy certificate and khata (property document) certificate transfer. The BBMP services include, addition and deletion of names from voters list, filling potholes and removing solid waste dumped on roadside.
Rejection of applications seeking services under the Sakala scheme has come down from 7.49 per cent to 5.83 per cent in last few months. Awareness among people and sensitising officials about the scheme seem be working well, said Law and Urban Development Minister Suresh Kumar.
He told reporters here on Friday that the government analysed the reasons for rejections and took corrective steps, which helped to cut the number of rejections. The government has also set up 113 help desks.
He said under the scheme, the government has so far received 1,12,71,813 applications. Of them, 1,07,28,728 have been disposed. Sakala was started in April, 2012
