News India Live, Digital Desk: Saturday morning came like a nightmare for many families living in Hehal area of Ranchi. The district administration team arrived with heavy police force and bulldozers and started demolishing many houses one by one. People kept crying and crying after seeing their houses being destroyed in front of their eyes, but the administration’s action did not stop.
This major action was taken in Baragai Mauza of Hehal area, where about 22 acres of government land was freed from encroachment. People had illegally occupied this land and built permanent houses and huts.
Why did this action happen?
Actually, this entire matter is related to illegal occupation of government land. The 22 acres of land on which this action was taken is recorded as ‘Non-Majrua’ land in the government records. This means that this land belongs to the government and no private construction can be done on it.
It is alleged that M.K. Lion A land mafia named Iliya illegally occupied this government land and then sold it to innocent people. People invested their entire life’s savings to buy land here and build their dream houses, without knowing that they were becoming victims of a big fraud.
Action taken on the orders of the High Court
When this matter reached Jharkhand High Court, the court took a strict stance on it. The High Court ordered the district administration to immediately free this government land from encroachment. Following this order of the court, the district administration took this major action.
At around 11 am, the administration team led by Sadar CO and several magistrates reached the spot along with the police force. At first people tried to protest against it, but they could not stand it in front of the heavy police force. After this, bulldozers started demolishing illegally built houses.
Many families have become homeless due to this action. People say that they had bought this land by paying money and they did not know that it was government owned. He alleges that he was not given any prior information from the administration. At the same time, the administration says that they have taken action as per the law.
This incident has once again raised the question as to why the common man has to suffer the consequences of the land mafia’s betrayal.
