ROURKELA: Today morning BJP, Panposh division has organized a press meet where Dhiren Senapaty,Spokes Person,BJP,Odisha Pradesh has addressed the media in presence of Mrs. Latika Patnaik, President of BJP, Panposh about the cunning approach by Govt. to sale land in prime location in Civil township area in cheap price where Govt. will incur loss about Rs.100 Crs.

Dhiren Senapati has taken the reference of RDA’s advertisement in Novemebr,2020 where invitation for auction invited for small residential plots but on the other side , they are planning to sale the precious lands near Civil Township area from Rs.6-15 cr pr acre of land to business house without inviting any tenders or through LAC. This approach of the local administration is questionable, complained Senapaty. He said earlier Govt. has decided to divided area in two zones one from Tarini Temple to Govt. College, Rourkela and the other sone from Tarini Temple to Hi-tech medical college.

The rate now fixed is Rs.15cr for one acre of land from Tarin temple to Govt. College where as Rs.6 cr has been fixed for acre of land from Tarini Temple to Hi-Tech Medical College. The actual rate of the land is approx Rs.75cr per acre in those areas; hence, Govt. will lose Rs.100cr if the deal is finalized. On whose interest this deal is going to happen,asked BJP,Panposh. In 2017 in LAC meeting it was decided that these precious commercial lands cannot be sold to any business houses or individual beings, how come they are now planning to ignore earlier decisions. Dhiren Senapty directly accused the Govt. officials and the local MLA for this practice. He also alleged, illegal land procurement has been an ongoing practice now a days by leaders of the ruling party in the state which is alarming. Govt. should come clean with detail clarification to this complaint raised.
