Residents of the Karnataka Housing Board’s Amargol Phase 2 Colony in Hubballi have been assured that long-pending civic amenities are likely to be provided soon after legal and administrative movement around the colony’s transfer to the municipal corporation gained momentum. The process, which had been stalled for years due to issues between KHB and HDMC over payment and handover formalities, has now progressed following a court directive involving settlement of dues. Once the transfer is completed, basic infrastructure such as roads, drainage, water supply, and street lighting is expected to be developed by the civic body.
Residents of Karnataka Housing Board’s Amargol Phase 2 Colony in Hubballi have received an update that essential civic amenities are expected to be developed in the coming period, following progress in the long-pending handover of the colony to the Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC).

The issue around the colony’s development has persisted for several years, with residents repeatedly highlighting the lack of basic infrastructure such as proper roads, drainage systems, drinking water supply, and street lighting. The area, which has seen housing development over time with several hundred houses built, has continued to face infrastructure gaps despite earlier representations to authorities.
The core issue was linked to the transfer of the colony from the Karnataka Housing Board (KHB) to HDMC. The handover had remained pending as HDMC had earlier raised a financial demand related to the transfer process, which KHB was unable to meet immediately. This resulted in delays in formal takeover and subsequent civic development responsibilities.
In a recent development, legal intervention led to a direction for KHB to make a payment settlement to facilitate the transfer process. Following this, officials confirmed that the handover procedure is expected to move ahead, enabling the municipal corporation to take charge of the colony’s maintenance and development.
Once the transfer is completed, HDMC is expected to initiate works related to essential civic infrastructure, including road improvement, drainage systems, water supply connections, and street lighting installation. These services are currently absent or inadequate in several parts of the colony, as highlighted by residents over time.
The Karnataka Housing Board, established to develop planned residential layouts across the state, has undertaken multiple housing projects over the years, but several colonies like Amargol Phase 2 have faced delays in receiving full civic infrastructure due to administrative and jurisdictional transitions.
