Haryana Energy, Transport and Labour Minister Anil Vij today directed officials to register cases against registrars concerned involved in registration of illegal colonies.
Chairing a meeting of the District Public Relations and Grievances Committee, Vij also took a serious note of a complaint regarding the registration of a piece of land in Sector 17, Jagadhri. He directed that an FIR be lodged against Municipal Corporation Assistant Engineer Deepak Sukhija and ordered his immediate arrest.
Fifteen pre-listed complaints were presented at the meeting, of which seven were resolved on the spot, while directions were issued to resolve the remaining complaints before the next meeting.
A complaint was submitted by Mahender Taneja, a resident of HSVP Sector 17, Jagadhri, alleging that a property ID had been wrongly approved and a land registry had been carried out illegally. Additional Deputy Commissioner Naveen Ahuja presented the inquiry report in the matter. Taking the issue seriously, Vij directed Municipal Commissioner Mahabir Parsad to register an FIR against Assistant Engineer Deepak Sukhija. He also instructed the Superintendent of Police to ensure his arrest despite his transfer from the post.
Similarly, taking cognisance of a complaint filed by Vijaydeep Singh, a resident of Basant Nagar, Jagadhri, regarding the development of an illegal colony on HSVP land, Vij directed the Deputy Commissioner to conduct a detailed inquiry into the action being taken by the DTP Department against illegal colonies in the district.
On a complaint by Parvinder Kamboj of Fatehpur village regarding crop damage caused by leakage of chemical-laced water from a treatment plant’s pipeline, the minister directed the Public Health Engineering Department to investigate the leakage and take action against the agency responsible.
Similarly, on a complaint by Rajender Kumar of Devdhar village regarding inaction in a crop theft case, Vij directed the SDM and DSP to conduct a joint inquiry and satisfy the complainant.
In a case related to fake cylinder entries and alleged black-marketing by a gas agency, Vij ordered the formation of a joint committee under the chairmanship of the Additional Deputy Commissioner to thoroughly investigate the entire record of the agency.
