Due to which landslides have been taking place for years due to which the damage has been done today. Talking to people, Rajiv Charak said that some people were raising slogans against the administration and our party and that those shouting these slogans are responsible for all this damage because during Congress tenure this drain was built and after taking a hefty commission, the substandard material was used as a result of which the local people are facing the brunt.
Charak said that these people were MLAs and Revenue Ministers of this area for 12 years, during that time all the potholes in Gandhinagar assembly were converted into small drains, drains, ravines, ponds, Tawi river, forest lands, pastures, government There was a lot of plundering of land and encroachment was vigorous, as a result of which today 200 meters of ravines have been converted into 10 feet drains, due to which the lives of people living on the banks of these drains are in danger. Appealing to the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Charak said that there is a huge scam of encroachment on ravines, drains, ponds, government land and forest land, this scam is the biggest scam after Roshni scheme.
