NGT order is defied by State Govt. to protect illegality of Achyut Samant



Corrupt bureaucrats of Odisha ignored order of NGT and allowed  Achyut Samant to enjoy forest land illegally acquired by him

This is rule of Law of Nabin Patnaik , Chief Minister, Odisha  who received  Outlook Speakout  best Administrator Award
Dear friends

18.8.17 was the fourt-time of hearing of Case by National Green Tribunal, Kalkatta about  Original Application No. 92/2016/EZ & M.A. NO. 157/2017/EZ filed  by Subas Mohapatra, Human Rights Activist  for  recovery of 18 acres of  forest land illegally acquired  by Achyut Samant in Patia area of Bhubaneswar, capital city of Odisha. Sri  Samant is the notorious land-grabber in Odisha.

 It deserves to be mentioned here that Sri Achyut Samant  has acquired  illegally and through fraudlent means around 100 acres of land in Chandaka Industrial area and  Pathargadia area.  Achyut Samant  has acquired recorded  amount of land  and topped the list of land grabbers of Bhubaneswar. It  has been possible with tacit support from  corrupt BJD leaders, MLAs, MPs and third grade bureaucrats of the state who claims educated  having sound academic career under Nabin Patnaik regime.

On 21st March 2017, while  hearing the case, National Green Tribunal  has given direction  to both Forest and Environment Department  and Revenue and Disaster Management and Chief Secretary to  demarcate  and acquire the land and undertake  fencing around the land which  has been illegally acquired  by Achyut Samant of KIIT.  It needs to be mentioned  here that on 10.7.2012, Tahasildar, Bhubaneswar  had issued eviction order to acquire the land. But astonishingly,  due to pressure  from  rulling class and top bureacrats  with whom Achyut Samant enjoys close relation,  that order  was not carried  out.  Now every body  should  think how our precious land  has been illegally acquired  by Achyut Samant  from day one , when  he started  his  education business  in Odisha.  In the meantine, Achyut Samant  has acquired  huge land  in different  district and  cophee jungle  in Koraput.

Odisha bureacrats   are seen constantly  ignoring  the order of Green Tribunal  since 21st march 2017 and  bying  time again and again  through affidavit and  conspiring  to  save Achyut Samant. It can be well-imagined  how  Odisha bureacrats and BJD leaders  are destorying  Odisha  by  engineering all  corrupt practices and nuisances of Achyut Samant.

On 5th July, 2017, NGT again issued  order to State Govt.  to  implement order dt. 21.3.17  and  demarcate the land  at the earliest and bring  back  the land.  In the meantime, RTI Application  was submitted  to  Dept. of Forest and Environment  and Dept. of Revenue and Disaster Managemement  to  get the information about details of Action Taken  on order of NGT.  The information supplied by the PIOs  is that Tahasildar , Bhubaneswar  has been  instructed  to  carry out demarcation.  But interestingly,  Tahasildar, Bhubaneswar does not care  order of higer authorities. Letter after letter is sent  to Tahasildar   with hidden agenda  to protect Achyut Samant. Can anybody  take it  granted or believe  that  a mere Tahasildar  will  dare to ignore order of  Chief Secretary and Revenue Secretary. This is all farce masterminded  by  corrupt bureacrats  with support from Chief Minister  to cheat the people and the court. 

On 18.8.17,  the State Govt.  has sought more time  in NGT to demarcate the land.  It shows State Govt. is prepared to acquire the land.  How illegalities and irregularities is being promoted  by Nabin Patnaik   who claims to be good administrator, non-corrupt  which is proved false.

However, NGT has fixed 3rd Oct.  for hearing of the case.

Without bringing back  the land, the State bureacrats  in  connivance with Achyut Samant  has started  harrassing Subas Mohapatra  by filling false  case  in Kanas police station  of Puri  district  by engaging  his former wife . The Fact-finding team of Civil Society  has found it false and designed to demoralise Subas Mohapatra. Anybody  can imagine character of Achyut Samant how he can go to any extent  for his vestsed interest. Few fraud people are telling  that he is  a great social worker and educationist. But  he is basically fraud  and involved  in all third grade  inhuman  activities   which has been exposed  in Bajrakila News paper.
