Ghaziabad District Administration has decided to take action against municipal officers and employees along with the land mafia who had fooled people by selling them government land.
According to officials, the district administration is going to take action by keeping all these people in the clutches of gang-based law and two cases of selling Government land have come under the supervision of the district administration.
“In these cases, the land which was under the management of Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation at Shantinagar and Nooranagar was illegally sold to people by plotting it. In this regard, District Magistrate Dr Ajay Shankar Pandey had issued an inquiry order to the Additional District Administration and asked to
present the inquiry report within fifteen days,” said the official.
Recently this land was sought from the Municipal Corporation for the project political training center of the state government in Nandagram area.
“When investigation was done there, it was found that on the land of the Municipal Corporation, the land mafia settled a colony in the name of Shanti Nagar years ago,” said the official.
The District Magistrate said that the land mafia is not only responsible for setting up and planting the colony on the land of the municipal management, but the erstwhile corporation officers and employees were also equal participants in the scam.
He said that in this entire case we have issued an order for investigation and action will be taken against all those who sold the land in the investigation and the names of the erstwhile corporation, officers and employees will come in the investigation report under the Bhoomafia Gang Bandh Act.
Earlier, K K Sharma, the director of the NGO Social Chakidar had raised the matter with great vigor in a press conference and appealed to the Chief
Minister and the District Administration to intervene in the matter. After this order of district
administration, there has been a stir in the
land mafia and the erstwhile corporation officers and employees.
