Published: 23 September 2026 · 1 min read

What Happened

The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) disconnected electricity to a commercial building in Domlur after finding it had been constructed without the mandatory setback. During an inspection, M. Maheshwar Rao, GBA Chief Commissioner, also ordered notices and removal action against another building under construction that allegedly failed to leave setbacks on all four sides.

Key Takeaways

The action signals a stricter enforcement drive against building-rule violations in Bengaluru. The case could serve as a warning to property owners and developers that setback norms and other planning regulations will be closely monitored and enforced.
