| VIPs encroach, sell Govt land at Humhama, Gogoo | | 'Use influence to evade action since 2011' | | Javaid Naikoo
Srinagar, July 18 : A major scam of illegal encroachment of state land has surfaced after Early Times accessed important revenue documents indicating names of influential encroachers who had usurped prime government land at Humhama and Gogoo areas in Srinagar and then used their influence to evade any action.
The document details reveal that in Humhama area 234 kanals and 1 marlas of Kahcharai land and 36 kanals 1 marlas of state land and in nearby Gogoo area 25 kanals 13 marlas of Kahcharai land have been encroached illegally over the years by hundreds of blue eyed people including noted bureaucrats and government officials.
A document with signature and sign of Naib Tehsildar Budgam dated 17/04/2011 reveals names of hundreds of encroachers including top government officials who have encroached land under Khasra numbers 1026,1026/2. The report further mentions that due to the construction of residential houses exact figures about the state land encroached could not be summed up.
According to letter number 161-63 dated 14/7/2011Tehsildar Budgam in response to communication of then Deputy Commissioner Budgam under letter number DCB/SQ/11/279-85 dated 15/6/2011 writes that 'Assamie wise' notices have been issued to the encroachers of Humhama Friends enclave, Gowsia Colony, Gogoo, Jawahir Housing colony and other such places after field staff submitted its report of total encroachment of land at Humhama and Gagoo and encroachers were asked to produce document if any of the land on which they have constructed complexes and a six member team including concerned Patwaris were directed to complete the process of documentation.
Acting on the field report about the land encroachment a Humhama and Gogoo then Assistant commissioner revenue Budgam in his letter number DCB/SQ//11/279-85 dated 15/06/2011 reminded Tehsildar Budgam that as per the minutes of meeting held with revenue Minister and divisional commissioner kashmir orders were passed to take immediate action against land encroachers at an earliest.
Pertinently apart from formal letters to encroachers by District Administration Budgam time to time warning them to either produce documents of land encroached or vacate the area, District Administration in the same year through an advertisement in a local urdu daily warned encroachers not to violate section 133 LRA and in case they ignored the warning necessary action shall be taken against all the encroachers of the area.
However according to sources since 2011 all the revenue records mentioning details about state land encroachment at Humhama and Gaogoo were kept hidden from government treasuries of Budgam and no action could be taken against any encroacher so far as some noted bureaucrats and top officials of state administration are among the encroachers they manage to evade any action.
Sources revealed to Early Times that the matter got exposed after very recently one cabinet Minister asked one top brass official of the state to vacate Ten Marlas of land in the area for the construction of a park in the area which are in possession of the said official.
Sources said that at both the places people in nexus with officials concerned encroached land illegally and then sold among the parties and despite the fact that the matter is in the notice of financial commissioner revenue, divisional commissioner Kashmir, revenue Minister, yet no action could been taken against anybody in this case. |
