Early Times Report
Anantnag, June 23: The Revenue authorities on Wednesday served notices to violators for raising commercial structures on paddy land a day after Early Times highlighted that the provisions of Land Revenue Act, prohibiting the conversion of Agriculture land for commercial purposes, were being violated.
The Assistant Commissioner Anantnag Syed Yasir Farooq directed Tehsildar Anantnag to visit the spot and submit a factual report with regard to violations of Section 133 of land Revenue Act. Tehsildar Anantnag vide letter Number TA/OQ/21/369 Dated 23-06-2021 submitted his report regarding the illegal constructions raised over Agriculture land at Village Khandiphari in the vicinity of Anantnag Railway Station and admitted that at least three violators have violated the provisions of Land Revenue Act.
The Assistant Commissioner Anantnag Syed Yasir Farooq put all the three violators on notice and directed them to demolish the structures they had raised on agriculture land within three days.
The Assistant Commissioner Anantnag Syed Yasir Farooq (KAS) directed Tehsildar Anantnag to invoke Section 133-C of Land Revenue Act and escheat the converted land to Government and make necessary entries in the Revenue records.
“As envisaged under Section 133-C, which reads as, “Any land converted for other purposes in violation of the provisions of section133-A, or section 133-B or 133-BB shall escheat to the Government”, the land over which the instant iolation has taken place shall escheated to the Government. Tehsildar Anantnag shall make necessary entries in the revenue records in this regard,” reads the order issued by ACR Anantnag, a copy of which lies with Early Times.
He also directed Tehsildar Anantnag to recover fines from the violators by again invoking the provisions of Section 133-C of Land Revenue Act which authorizes the first class magistrate to impose fines on violators till they don’t remove the construction raises over agriculture land.
The ACR Anantnag also directed the violators to demolish the structures within three days and threatened to demolish the structures and recover the expenditure incurred on demolition from the violators if they failed to demolish voluntarily.
In this order, ACR Anantnag admitted that the violators had not raised constructions without the support of field staff of the Revenue Department. He sought a list of Patwaris, Chowkidars and lamberdars who had worked or worked in the area since 2015.
Pertinently, on Tuesday, Early Times published a detailed report regarding the commercial constructions coming up on Agriculture land in various areas particularly near Railway Station Anantnag and all along the Qazigund-Bijbehara (old) Highway.
The ACR Anantnag told Early Times that similar action will be taken against those violators who are raising constructions on Agriculture land in Bijbehara. “I will seek a report from Tehsildar Bijbehara as well,” he said while assuring action. |
