According to reports, a number of Revenue Officers including Tehsildars have allegedly encroached state land or Kahcharie land in their native areas. “These officers misused their official positions to encroach the state land,” sources alleged. They also alleged that these officers even helped their relatives and friends to grab the prized land at different locations.
