Kathua, Apr 20: Taking cognizance of alleged hundreds of kanal irrigation/ State land going encroached by property dealers and government officials, the District Development Commissioner (DDC) Kathua Ramesh Kumar IAS, has set up a committee and has instructed to review revenue records since 1971.
Bahujan Samajwadi Party leaders of district took strong exception of the issue and have launched a drive against encroachers who grabbed hundreds of kanal Irrigation / State land with the due support of Revenue officers specifically deployed at Chak Sona Rupa Halqa.
Som Raj Majotra, BSP senior leader, alleged on Revenue department to back property dealers who close associate with union ruling party. He said Revenue officials of the halqa themselves inform the property dealer about vacant land and ensured him modification in the revenue records.
Majotra said that JCB machines and other digging machines are openly used to grab state land but nobody is there to control such drive.
Asserting encroachment on Sahar Khad directly affects the irrigation supply to down areas and food items, he had appealed DDC Kathua to take serious step against encroachers including government employees besides Revenue officials who involved in the menace.
When contacted DDC Kathua, said that he had ordered to set up joint committee of Revenue officers and Irrigation & Flood Control officials but report is yet awaited. He added that Revenue records since 1971 have been reviewed to find out the actual demarcated boundary of irrigation/state land. He ensured fair investigation in the demarcation of Sahar khad and said Independent inquiry could also be initiated.
