Shahdol, divisional headquarters, the people of the city including the district member from Kelauhari village appealed to save the forest land at the doorstep of the Shahdol divisional commissioner from the energy city Chachai, which means that the forest land should not be private but with this hope people reached the division's Matri Shakti, Sarva Shakti Swaroopa Commissioner Surabhi Gupta. Two hundred people who came here have told Commissioner Madam about the construction work going on in the forest property against the rules and fearlessly, which was asked to be stopped immediately. But this order could not be fully implemented on the ground till date. Patwari RI together played a big game in the forest land recorded in the revenue records. In the lines of Panjiri, by cutting and pasting the government, Madhya Pradesh government and forest land revenue records, it is as if the kaajal has been stolen from under the eyes of the responsible people, due to which the state government mineral and revenue and the central government mineral and Crores of rupees have been defrauded by throwing dust in the eyes of the revenue department.

The height of business....

Actually, the complainants who came to the division headquarters told that the forest officer and ranger of the forest department gave exemption instead of taking action on the complaints about illegal construction, which has resulted in the destruction of the entire forest department land. After deep churning of the revenue records, it has been confirmed that whoever is involved in occupying the land worth crores of rupees has administrative and political protection, otherwise today after the certified complaints of the people occupying the government and forest land, the government knows how to destroy the few bullies who are doing illegal construction, but till the time of writing the news today, fearless construction work is going on at that place. Most of the illegal construction is happening in Kelauhari Deori village, here the Patwari RI has done fraud in the revenue records, there is news of leases being made overnight on the non-transferable government land and forest land which were registered. These contain information about 35 Khasra numbers of Khatauni number 118. According to the certified documents received on 12 April 2009, on 885.20 hectare land, big officers including MPEB employees have built their bungalows on the lines of land mafia, whereas the records examined from 1958-1959 to 1985-1994 show that there has been a lot of business and fraud in the revenue records shown in the current date. This land belongs to the Madhya Pradesh government, in which there is a clear mention of forest land recorded in the Khasra.

Now the gin will come out of the bottle...
It should be noted that Deori Kelauhari village Tani Imarate Khasra number 392 is 100% in the grip of encroachment, among them there are also well-known officers, divisional employees and A grade contractors, they have done the work which is usually done by land mafia and land brokers, in this encroachment, the Gram Panchayat provided a lifeline by building four feet concrete on the forest land. He also gave a boon to the multi-storey buildings built by cutting the road. This is also a matter of a big investigation in this case. The present construction going on in this area with the help of concrete pillars is seen mocking the action taken by the forest department a few years ago. Here, a team formed under the direction of the then DFO Anuppur Jam Singh Bhargava raided the forest area Khutwa Beat forest area and registered a case under section 52/26 Ch-41 of the Indian Forest Act, 1927 in the matter of excavation and storage of sand and gravel going on in compartment number 400 forest land. 06 Hiva and one Poklane were seized and swift action was taken which is recorded in the pages of history. In this action, Hiva number MP 65 H 0171, MP 65 H 0213, MP 65 H 0259, MP 65 H 0270, MP 65 H 0271, one sold Hiva and one chain mounting were seized. Poklane machine was seized. In this action, SDO Shrikant Verma, Forest Range Officer AK Nigam, Ravi Shankar Tripathi, MK Singh Beatguard, Suresh Prajapati, Bal Singh Paraste, Rajbali Saket Balbhadra Singh were present. Today, honesty may be visible in the forged documents, but behind the curtain, there is a land scam done on a large scale, it is necessary to investigate it so that those who are locked in the bottle come out and tell everyone. After all, how was the non-transferable land deleted against the rules.

According to the information received from sources in the case, most of the local petty leaders, retired MPEB employees including EE have also built their dream homes on this disputed forest and government land. Now, which departmental officer will have the guts to take action? But it is also very important to follow and get the constitution followed. Sir, every time in the action, the government tries its power on the poor and the helpless. Just check their illegal construction and their documents and feel the pulse, you will get confirmation of a big scam.

Administrative response...
Right now in the case I do not have the information, I will tell you after getting information from subordinate officers. Now show the documents, if it is so then the question does not arise, action will be taken.
