allotment of land /plot by GA during 1990-1995 is kept secret and denied under
RTI by officials of GA Dept.
- · A good number of officers, political
heavy weights, political leaders and powerful people have taken multiple plots by twisting the plotted schemes-1989 in their favour. - ·
GA Dept. is maintaining top most secrecy in the matter of disclosure of said
information. - ·
This corrupt coterie prevented these
land records from accessibility by Task Force in 2014. - ·
Despite order of Information
Commission and First Appellate Authority, the information is not provided.
Magnitude of irregularities and illegalities
in allotment of plot is quite
thinkable. - ·
If it will be disclosed, the Pandora
Box of illegal plot grabbing of GA Dept during chief ministership of Biju Patnaik in 1990-95
will be opened up.
Dear friends
After CAG expose
about huge irregularities and illegalities in respect of allotment of land by
GA, BDA, CDA and Odisha State Housing Board in 2014, the State Govt. constituted
a Task Force under chairmanship of Dr. Taradatt,the then Secretary, Dept. of
Revenue and Disaster Management, Govt. of Odisha to
review allotment of land since 1995
and recommend for taking further action
by Govt. The assignment of review of land
since 1995 was questioned by the opposition parties and Civil Society Groups.
Why the Govt. did not include land /plot allotted during Chief Minister ship of
Biju Patnaik from 1990 to 1995 within purview of investigation by Task Force.

While
submitting the Report in Nov.2014, the Task Force has mentioned that the Committee
was not provided the information by the officials about the land/plot allotted
to 3000 allottees during pre-1995 period. For which the Task Force could not
reach at the conclusion whether the allottees allotted plot by GA Dept. have taken multiple plot. Keeping it in view,
the Task Force Committee recommended for
review and audit of land/plot allotted in pre-1995 period.

5. During this
period many IAS officers like Tarun
Kanti Mishra, Sri Upendra Behera , Sri Bijay Sharma, IPS and many others have taken multiple plots and filling false affidavit by manipulating and
redesigning the plotted schemes, 1989 in
order to suit their interest of grabbing number of plots in Bhubaneswar. Many IAS, IPS officers,
Ministers, MLAs have taken multiple
plots from BDA, CDA, Housing Board and
GA. These officers are nurtured and
protected by Nabin Patnaik Govt.
