Ludhiana: A day after Ludhiana Newsline carried a report on the controversy surrounding the construction of shops on common land at Ghuman village in Riakot, Deputy Commissioner Rahul Tewari on Monday marked an inquiry in the case and asked Jagraon SDM Gurmeet Singh to submit a report.
“Due
action will be taken after the SDM submits his report,” the DC
said.
As
already mentioned, the villagers have objected to the construction of
five shops on the village common land along the Ludhiana-Bathinda
state highway where, as per rules, constructions cannot come up. The
villagers alleged Sarpanch Bhupinder Singh did not follow the rules.
However,
the Sarpanch said he had asked those constructing shops on this land
to pay the panchayat a rent of Rs 850 per month, and no other charges
had been asked from them.
Though
the Block Development Officer had received a complaint, nothing much
was being done in this regard.
