Kolkata’s promoters eye on water bodies to get free land
Even after the orders from the state’s chief minister, the police and the concerned authorities of Kolkata turn a blind eye to the encroachment of water bodies.
Chief minister Mamata Banerjee had asked the police and Trinamool Congress councillors to check that no water body in their jurisdiction disappears. But this seems to have had no effect on their part as complaints have been received of encroachment of ponds.
Ponds in Kolkata have been filled up using fly-ash and that too in the day time. The person who intimated about this to the police and the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC), had to face threats and got beaten up by the members of a local club.
Higher land prices have resulted in such kind of incorrect and illegal ways of obtaining land. The concerned officials have been promising that action will be taken against the errant realty promoters.
