If government land is captured then even Lekhpal Saheb will not be able to save it, the action taken on negligence in Lucknow

News India Live, Digital Desk: The matter is simple, if the administration wants then it cannot kill even the bird. Complaints about illegal occupation of government land and ponds were being received in Lucknow for a long time. DM Suryapal Gangwar had given clear orders for this that wherever illegal construction or encroachment is seen, they should be removed immediately. But what happened? Some officials, accountants and law enforcers sitting at the lower level were determined to put the work on hold.

When no effect was seen at the ground level despite repeated warnings, it was natural for the DM to get angry. Taking a tough stance, he gave instructions to take strict departmental action against the concerned accountants and law officers. The DM said in clear words that those who, instead of performing their duty, are benefiting the encroachers or are deliberately delaying in making the report, will not be allowed to remain a part of the system.

Message of ‘zero tolerance’ in government system
This is not a small action in Lucknow. Generally, bulldozers are seen running on large ponds, but this action is bigger than a bulldozer. This is an action of ‘Accountability’. When the lowest and strongest link of the department i.e. the accountants and lawyers know that the DM has a direct eye on their job and profile, then the pace of work automatically increases.

Expecting great relief for the general public
There is a discussion in the streets of Lucknow that if the upper officials continue to show strictness like this, then the encroachment will also be removed from the government lands and the land belonging to the poor will be protected. Now it remains to be seen whether the land mafia really comes on the backfoot after this action? Obviously, through this action of the DM, the message has been sent that laziness in the work of administration will no longer be tolerated.

For those who had taken advantage of the weaknesses of the system and considered government property as their inheritance, this news is no less than a shock. Now the officials have only one option left, either get on the ground and remove the encroachments, or be ready to face suspension and departmental inquiry.
