Mangaluru: J.R. Lobo, MLA, Mangaluru South, on Friday said as a part of the promise he made to Bengre residents, as many as 1,138 families will be given possession certificates for their house sites under Section 94 (c) (c) of the Land Revenue Act, 1964, on Saturday.

Though people had been residing in Bengre for years, their pleas for RTC and possession certificates were not considered. When he visited the area before the 2013 Assembly polls, he was petitioned again. 2,209 families had applied for regularisation of house sites at Bengre.

The remaining 1,071 are under inquiry. Meanwhile, over 3,000 applications were filed from other parts of his constituency, including Kodialbail, Kadri, Maroli, etc, of which 1,623 have been settled and the remaining are in the inquiry stage.

Beneficiaries from here would be given possession certificates on February 15, he added.
