Mass Dharana demanding recovery of 18 acres forest land from KIIT

On 6.9.17, RTI Activists under banner of Civil Society Forum sat on Dharana in front of Raj Bhawan, Bhubaneswar, Odisha demanding execution of order of National Green Tribunal, Kalkatta for recovery of Forest land illegally acquired by Achyut Samant, founder of KIIT/KISS through fraud lent means. A memorandum was submitted to Governor, Odisha by a five-member delegation led by Pratap Sahu,, Social Activist demanding  direction to State Govt. to immediately recover the land from Sri Achyut Samant, Land grabber of Odisha. 

​​It deserves to be mentioned here that on 22.3.17 , hearing Complaint case filed by Subas Mohapatra vs Govt of Odisha, Original Application No. 92/2016/EZ & M.A. NO. 157/2017/EZ filed before  National Green Tribunal, Tribunal  issued order to Nabin Patnaik Govt. to recover  18 acres of forest land from KIIT  and undertake fencing around it. Though 6 months have passed, the State neither acquired the land nor submitted any affidavit in NG T.

​​ It shows how Achyut Samant is having  nexus with corrupt BJD leaders and bureaucrats to grab land  through fraud lent means. As per CAG report, Achyut Samant has acquired more than 100 acres of land through fraud lent means by violating all legal procedures. This is true character of Achyut Samant. RTI Activists since last few years have been demanding for CBI inquiry into huge land  scam perpetuated by BJD Ministers, MLAs and IAS officers in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack  during Naveen Pattnaik regime. Naveen Pattnaik is personally involved in land and Mining scam in Odisha.

We appeal all to support us in our fight for bringing back  hundreds acres of land to Govt. Fold  worth 10,000 crores.
