Doda:; A passenger shed constructed in 2015 by the Rural Dev. Department Block Ghat in Rotipadrana panchayat at KM 16th on Doda Malwana Jagir Road at Bheri Domail is being damaged and converted into private property by some highly influential persons .
The said passenger shed has been constructed in government land but some influential person has got the said patch of state land transferred in his name and is trying to dismantle the already constructed passenger shed . The shed was being used by the general public . Now the same shed has been converted into shops for commercial use.
Locals allege that the state land on which the passenger shed was constructed in 2015 stands now converted into Malkiyat land of a particular person in 2021.
They raised questions that if the land was Malkiyat land of a person why objections were not raised by the owner when the s passenger shed was being constructed by the Department. Now when the passenger shed was being dismantled by the influential person, why the concerned department and the PRI members have not been informed.
Talking to news agency, the locals informed that in this matter a grievance was also lodged in the Governor Grievance cell vide ID No. 999002640762 . In response to the said complaint, BDO Ghat Doda on 19-01-2022 in his reply stated that a letter vide No. BDOD.2021-22/1806-10 Dated:- 17-01-2022 Executive Magistrate 1st class Tehsildar Doda has been requested to look into the matter and prevent damage to the pubic property as damage has actually been caused to the passenger shed as reported by the field staff but it is very unfortunate that after a lapse of more than 20 days, no action has been taken against the accused person due to unknown reasons which is a serious concern and speaks the volume of non-seriousness towards the complaints against influential persons.
The public of Rotipadrana have urged District Administration Doda to take legal action against the person /persons involved in the tempering of revenue record and causing damage to public property .
