Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) officials on Tuesday recovered four acres of prime land worth Rs 300 crore in Nagawara, North Bengaluru.

A building and sheds were erected there illegally, said, officials.

A senior official said the recovery is probably the largest in BDA’s history when it comes to land value.

“Unauthorized persons built a five-storied building there. We have not yet demolished the structure but removed the sheds and other encroachments,” he said.

In 1985, BDA passed a notification to acquire survey number 75 in Nagawara for forming the HBR II Stage layout and the related acquisition was done in 1988.

While 1 acre and 26 guntas of land were used for constructing a Ring Road, 4 acres and 17 guntas were kept aside for the layout.

BDA said unauthorized properties worth Rs 5,000 crore have been identified across the city and will be recovered soon.
