Land scam by Odisha State Housing Board - A status

Inquiry into corruption and irregularities in allotment of land/plot by   Govt.  of Odisha is proved  as  farce and deception, exposed through RTI
( Case of Odisha State Housing Board)

Though 3 years  passed, not a single land allotted illegally  has been recovered by Nabin Patnaik Govt. even nor  a single man arrested  for taking land  through fraudlent means.  Task Force Committee   had provided list of  thousands of people  who have taken land illegally  during  BJD Govt. This is how  a self-claimed  transparent  and corruption-free Govt. perpetuates  corruption and  protects illegal land grabbers in Odisha.

Shall  we, the people of Odisha again voted  this Govt. to power ?

·        In 2014, CAG exposed in its Audit Report ( General and Social Sector-2012)  about huge illegalities and irregularities  in  allotment of land/plot   in Bhubaneswar  and Cuttack  by by Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA), Cuttack Development Authority (CDA)  and General Administration (GA) Department and IDCO.
·       Following release of  CAG report, all the opposition  political parties  and Civil Society Groups   organised rally and demonstration demanding  CBI inquiry into land scam.
·      On 2.8.2014,  being pressurised,  the State Govt. constituted a Task Force  under chairmanship of Dr. Taradatt, the then  Secretary of Dept. of Revenue and Disaster management, Govt. of Odisha  to review all the allotment of more than one land/houses/flats to the members of the same family and allotment under discretionary quota to ineligible persons from 1995 to 2014 and submit its report within 4 months.
·      The Task Force produced the report  on 3.11.2014.
·      The State Cabinet  accepted and endorsed  all recommendations made by Task Force i.e., cancellation of all allotments under discretionary quota , cancellation of all plots taken  by  the people by  filling false  affidavit and multiple plots. The State Govt.  handed over all the cases  to State Vigilance to enquire into the matter.
·      State Vigilance has not yet been able  to arrest a single man  involved in land scam.
·      Nabin Patnaik, Chief Minister is trying hard to  cover up this scam.

RTI Application was filed  to the PIO, office of Odisha State Housing Board  seeking information about  details of action taken  against the people  who have taken land illegally or filling false affidavit   and details of land recovered  from them.  On 3.10.2017, the PIO  has supplied the  information which is as follows.

1.       The  following officers  who have been allotted  house under Discretionary quota and through lottery   are as follows.

2.       The following persons  have applied  to OSHB to return  their plot  as they have taken  multiple plots  are  as follows.  But astonishingly,  though 3 years have passed, OSHB is  sitting idle  and not taking  any step to recover the land from the allottees  who have taken  plot by filling false affidavit.  It shows  how Odisha bureaucracy is trying hard to cover up the whole issue  and patronising  land grabbers.

Comments
A.      There are  many ministers, MLAs and Officers  who have taken houses  in name of their relatives  and also fake names  which  could not  be traced out.   Readers are requested  to bring to our notice  about   name of allottees  who have taken  houses  under DQ or  through filling false affidavit.
B.      It is very  interesting  that though 3 and half year  passed, the State Govt. has not taken any action against the allottees who have  illegally taken houses.
