Chandigarh Tribune: Chandigarh: Thursday, January 29, 2015.
The Haryana
Lokayukta has asked the DGP to look into a complaint submitted by PP Kapoor, an
RTI activist, regarding the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) plot
allotment scam in Panipat.
The
complainant alleged several industrialists fraudulently got allotted HUDA plots
meant for labourers.
In his
complaint, Kapoor said HUDA had offered 897 freehold residential plots to
industrial workers at Sector 25 (part 2) in Panipat under a special welfare
scheme floated in 2001.
The plots
were allotted in 2002, but the RTI petition exposed that in 2008 several plots
were allotted to “ineligible” individuals.
Several
ineligible persons were allotted plots and some of them were allotted more than
one plot in violation of the HUDA rules, he alleged.
In its
direction (a copy of which is with The Tribune) issued this month, the
Lokayukta asked the DGP to furnish his report within 45 days to proceed further
in the matter, as the complaint is to be disposed of in one year as per law.
Kapoor
submitted his complaint to the Lokayukta June 26. Subsequently, the Lokayukta
asked the Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department on September 3 last
year to look into the matter and furnish his report within 45 days. As no
report has been submitted so far, the Lokayukta has written to the DGP to get
the issue probed.
