Builder develops lay-out on NMC’s land, sells 800 plots


  • NMC to decide line on action on Monday

By Dheeraj Fartode
A BUILDER has allegedly developed a lay-out on the land belonging to the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) in Mouza Tarodi Khurd in Bidgaon village. Plots on the lay-out have already been sold to more than 800 persons. The NMC land was reserved for sewage treatment plant.

Rattled by this fraud the NMC official will now decide their line of action after visiting the spot on Monday. “We will scan entire documents including sale deeds and then decide future course of action,” a senior NMC official informed ‘The Hitavada’.

“NMC had time and again written to Kamptee Tehsildar in last 10 years for title change. However, the Tehsildar did not respond,” said the official. NMC will also check involvement of government official in the fraud.

Guardian Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule has asked Municipal Commissioner Shravan Hardikar to take tough action in the case. The land was acquired way back in 1964-65 for setting-up treatment plant keeping in mind the city’s expansion.

From 1997 sewage work stopped and the land remained vacant and unoccupied. Two firms, Snehal and Sagar Developers, took over the said land and sold plots to citizens. Today around 50 structures stand on the said land. Further inquiry by the Guardian Minister on Friday during a review meeting at Bijli Nagar guest house, revealed that nearly 800 people have registry papers of the plot.

Bawankule wondered how 7/12 extracts were issued to citizens when the said land was reserved for NMC. Hardikar, who was also present at the meeting, said the sale deeds are bogus and NMC still has papers of its ownership. Bawankule has directed the Commissioner to prepare a list of people who have constructed their houses saying they would be rehabilitated before eviction.
The minister also directed authorities to ensure that no new structure comes up on the said land. He has also directed Revenue SDO to issue 7/12 extracts of said land in name of NMC with immediate effect.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...
