D.J. Halli violence: Only 3 applications seeking redressal for property damage

Claims commissioner for D.J. Halli violence Justice (retd.) H.S. Kempanna appealed to people who suffered property damage in the August 11, 2020 violence to submit their applications to the Commission. While February 28 is the last date for submitting applications for damage claims, Justice Kempanna said his office had received only three applications so far. In contrast, more than 50 FIRs have been filed in D.J. Halli and K.G. Halli police stations for property damage during the violence. Interestingly, Pulikeshi Nagar MLA Akhanda Srinivasa Murthy, whose home was partially burnt down by a violent mob on the fateful night, is also yet to make an application claiming damages, sources said.
