Discovery of another Mega Land Scam of KISS , Bhubaneswar


Discovery of  another Mega  Land Scam of KISS , Bhubaneswar
( Exposed  under RTI )
Dear  friends

Much earlier,  we  have  brought  to the  notice  of the public  about  Mega Land Scam masterminded  by Achyut Samant,  founder  of KIIT and KISS, Bhubaneswar, a man having land grabbing  mania and  habituated to adopt  different  tricks  to grab land  through  fraudlent means.  The  information extracted  from CAG report and  obtained  through  RTI   has proved  that  total   111.5 acres  of  the  precious land  ( 82 Acres of land as per CAG Report + 18 acres  of forest land + 11.5 acres of GA  plot ) has been  acquired illegally  and through causing  irregularities     in Chandaka Industrial area,  Patia  and Pathargadia area  by  authority  of KISS and KIIT. Achyut Samant,  presently BJD MP  has masterminded  this  scam  in Bhubaneswar.   Different  tricks  adopted  by Achyut Samant  to grab land  is as follows.

1. First grab  Govt. land without informing Govt. authority  and after  few years of acquiring land, letter  is written to  concerned authority  to   lease  out  same land  in the  interest  of tribal  children. Sri  Samant  has written  such type  of letter  several times  to IDCO  to get  the land.  Though  illegal, IDCO  has allotted  a number  of plots  to KIIT  which  CAG  has  greatly  objected. 

2. Huge  precious forest  land   is  acquired  by  KISS and KIIT  and  palatial building  is constructed  without  knowledge  of  Revenue Dept. and Forest Dept.  Even  Achyut Samant  does not  care  to  apply for diversion  of  forest  land for non-forest  purpose. It  has been  possible  due  to nexus  of  Achyut Samant  with  BJD leaders and State  bureaucracy.  Even after  NGT order, Still  KISS  continues  to acquire  land  with tacit  support  from state  administration.

3.  Most  of the KIIT and KISS  building  are  constructed  without  approval of BDA. Because  the land  does not  belong to KIIT and KISS.

4.  Similarly, private  plots  within vicinity  of KIIT  and KISS  are  forcibly  acquired  by  the  people  of Achyut Samant. They are   forced  to  sell  their  to KIIT . If they  disagree they are  threatened  and beaten up  by goons  of Sri Samant.  Many  learned  citizens  who have purchased  land  are not allowed  to enter  into their  land  by goons of  Sri Samant.  Jagannath Temple  constructed   by Achyut Samant  is  over  the land of  a retired  Professor  who  died  of  heart stroke, as  Sri Samant  does not  allow him to  construct house  over  his  land , adjacent to KIIT  campus.

5. Despite  Court  order, Achyut Samant  does  not  allow private  people  to construct house  over their  own land  due to his  unholy  nexus  with Odisha  bureaucracy,  ruling  class and police.  That  conflict  is quite  visible  in Patia and Pathargadia area.

Recent  discovery  of another land scam  of KISS  is   that  as  per information obtained  from  office of DFO, Chandaka,  KISS authority  has acquired  another  4.032   ha. ( around 11 acres  of land )  revenue forest land  in Mouza – Pathargadia ( Khata No. 2242)  under Bhubaneswar Tahasil.  This  land  has been acquired  by Samant  without  taking any  permission or  approval  from Govt. As  per  provision of Forest  Conservation Act,  any  diversion  of forest  land for  non-forest  purpose  requires  approval  of Ministry  of  environment and Forest , Govt. of India. Forest  Dept.  has not  handed over this  land to KISS.  But  KISS authority  has been showing  this  land  as property  of KISS  and used  this  land to  get  deemed  to be  University status  for KISS.
