Chief Minister Raman Singh on Thursday ordered the Bemetara District Collector to conduct a probe and make demarcations clear in a land fraud case relating to a farmer named Garibdas of Bhurki village of the district.
A large number of citizens from various parts of the State attended the weekly 'Jandarshan' programme at the Chief Minister's official residence here.
Garibdas alleged that 63 acres of his agriculture land under various 'Kasra' numbers had been transferred in some fictitious names by Patwari and Revenue Inspector. His name had been removed from the Revenue records.
Garibdas said that his name had been in Revenue records for the past 54 years since 1962 till 2016. He complained regarding this dispute at various fora and to senior district officials but of no avail. Singh took up the complaint seriously and immediately called upon the Bemetara District Collector to look into the matter and demarcate the agriculture land as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Singh also sanctioned financial aid to the resident of Bilaspur, Tarun Sahu. His wife laxmi Sahu met Chief Minister and submitted a memorandum requesting him to provide immediate medical help to her ailing husband. laxmi said that her husband Tarun was seriously injured in a major road accident six months ago.
He had serious head injuries. She had already spent Rs 8 lakh at Bilaspur hospital. The doctors have advised that another surgery is needed. The amount required is Rs 3 lakh. The financial condition of the family is very precarious.
The Chief Minister directed the Health Department officials to waive rules and sanction Rs 3 lakh from the Sanjeevni Fund as early as possible.
A delegation from Mana Panchayat submitted a memorandum listing the grievances of the area and requesting Singh to address them.
The Chief Minister also sanctioned financial aid to many of the critically ill patients' families. He sanctioned the construction of Cultural centre building at village Devri (Tehisl Kansabel) Jashpur District on the request of a delegation from the district. Parliamentary Secretary Motiram Chandravanshi was also present at the Jandharshan programme.
