Karnataka move to ban construction is no solution

Deccan Chronicle  

Chennai: The Karnataka government’s move to ban housing construction in Bengaluru for five years in the face of a water crisis will stir up prices of newly constructed housing property in the city. However, homebuyers with new ready properties whose prices remained stagnant over the last two-three years may have a reason to cheer as finally the value of their property will rise,” said Anuj Puri, Chairman, Anarock Property Consultants. Processes combining conservation techniques, alternate technologies and recycling processes should be made part of future developments, including real estate, infrastructure, manufacturing etc,” said Shishir Baijal, CMD, Knight Frank India, a global property consultancy. “Instead of opting for such an extreme move to quell the water crisis, the government could take adequate alternate measures to conserve water, manage its sources and ensure that concepts like rainwater harvesting are strictly imbibed by housing societies and builders.
