JAIPUR
: A two-member monitoring committee comprising senior advocate
Virendra Dangi and advocate A K Bhargav on Friday submitted before
the high court a detailed report relating to the encroachments in the
catchment areas of Bisalpur dam, Anasagar and Faye Sagar of Ajmer,
Kalakh dam of Jobner.
According
to the report, there is no encroachment only in the catchment area of
Bisalpur dam though the committee found a large number of anicuts but
all of them were below the prescribed height of two meters. A large
number of plantation was also found in the area.
In
Ajmer, the committee found sprawling slums in the catchment areas of
Anasagar and even a mall was found constructed in the catchment bed.
The committee also found encroachment in the dam area in Jobner near
Jaipur.
During
their visit to Ramghar Dam, the panel members found illegal
excavation of sand from the dried water bed. They asked the
authorities to register an FIR against two tractor owners who were
found taking sand from the dam water bed.
Virendra
Dangi, senior member of monitoring committee, brought it to the
notice of the court that while hearing a suo motu petition on
encroachment in the catchment of Ramgarh dam, it has been found that
not only allotments have been made but also encroachments have been
regularized despite implementation of Section 16 of Rajasthan Tenancy
Act, 1955 which bars allotment of any land of water bodies to any
private persons.
The
government had claimed that a large number of allotments made in such
areas have been cancelled and a reference for cancellation has been
made to the revenue board of Ajmer. On Friday, Justice Munishwar Nath
Bhandari asked the state government to file the details of the
reference made to Revenue Board for cancellation of such allotments
by July 30.
