NAB
P’GARH LAND FRAUD KINGPIN SOON: SP
Samajwadi Party Balangir
district president Arun Mishra on Saturday demanded that the main accused in
the Patnagarh fraudulent land transfer case occurred in 2006 by some Agra and
New Delhi based companies, including the Taj Gases, be arrested soon.
Around 10 private companies
had taken around 600 acres of land on three-year lease from farmers belonging
to various villages under the block, promising a good amount of rent to them.
Some middlemen and teshil officials helped the companies grab these lands
fraudulently from the farmers.
On the basis of a report
published in The Pioneer in 2007-08, the Revenue Divisional Commissioner (Northern
Division) ordered for an inquiry. Being confirmed that the company officials,
teshil official and middleman were involved in the scam, the RDC also
recommended strong action against the accused. Even though a few people were
arrested in this connection, key accused Mahesh Tyagi of Taj Gases has not yet
been arrested.
In a recent development, a
company with the help of some dalals reportedly felled some eucalyptus trees
from a piece of land owned by one Somenath Sahu of Gunghutipali village and
took away the logs on February 18 last.
“The private companies,
which fraudulently took away several acres of land from farmers, are now
cutting trees from those land patches. The land should be returned to the
farmers and steps be taken to arrest the main accused in the case,” demanded
Mishra.
He further said the party
activists would resort to agitation if the district administration does not
take appropriate action soon. Meanwhile, a complaint has been lodged in the
Patnagarh police station vis-à-vis the tree felling.
