In a significant development for industrial stakeholders, Karnataka MLA D. S. Suresh, popularly known as Tenginkai Suresh, has made a firm commitment to resolve the long-pending khata registration issues faced by industrial units in the Bommasandra-Jigani belt. The assurance came during an interactive session with industry representatives where the MLA addressed their concerns about the problematic transition to the new e-Aasthi system.
MLA's Direct Intervention
The meeting, which brought together industrial unit owners and the elected representative, focused specifically on the difficulties businesses have encountered while attempting to register their properties under the digital khata system. MLA D. S. Suresh, who represents the Kanakapura constituency, gave his word that a solution would be found within the next 15 days, providing much-needed relief to the anxious business community.
During the discussions, industry representatives highlighted how the technical glitches and procedural hurdles in the e-Aasthi platform have been creating substantial obstacles for their operations. The inability to secure proper khata registration has been affecting everything from business expansions to compliance requirements, making this intervention particularly crucial for the industrial sector's growth.
The E-Aasthi Challenge
The e-Aasthi system, designed to digitize property records and streamline municipal services, has faced implementation challenges since its rollout. Industrial units in the Bommasandra-Jigani area, which serves as a significant industrial corridor, have been among the most affected by these technical issues.
The MLA specifically addressed the problems industrialists have been facing with BBMP's e-Aasthi portal, acknowledging the system's shortcomings and the urgent need for resolution. His direct involvement signals the government's recognition of the importance of addressing technological transition problems that impact business operations and economic development.
Broader Implications for Industrial Growth
This commitment from the elected representative comes at a critical time when Karnataka is working to strengthen its position as an industrial hub. The resolution of these administrative hurdles is expected to have far-reaching positive effects on the business environment in the region.
The Bommasandra-Jigani industrial area hosts numerous manufacturing and service units that contribute significantly to the state's economy and employment generation. The prompt resolution of their khata-related issues will not only ease current operational challenges but also boost investor confidence in the region's business-friendly policies.
Industry representatives have welcomed the MLA's proactive approach and the specific timeline provided for resolution. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining how effectively the administrative machinery can address these technical challenges and deliver on the promised solutions.
This development underscores the importance of continuous dialogue between industry stakeholders and government representatives to identify and resolve operational bottlenecks that hinder business growth and economic progress in the state.
