ROPAR:
Ropar Administration finally swung in to action and removed the
encroachment from the about 21 acre Shamlat land of the village Phool
Khurd near Ropar today and handed over the possession of the same to
the Gram Panchayat amidst tight security arrangements.
The
officials of the administration led by Block Development and
Panchayat Officer (BDPO) Roop Singh and Tehsildar Maj. G.S.Benipal
arrived at the spot this afternoon to complete the process of taking
back the possession of the land from the encroachers.
A
heavy police force led by SP(D) Ropar Raminder Singh and DSPs Harbir
Singh Atwal,Satnam Singh was present on the occasion to maintain law
and order situation.
It
may be mentioned that earlier the about 21 acres of shamlat land of
the village had been encroached upon by four brothers of the village
for the last several years and they had lost various courts cases
filed regarding the land.
The
administration was to remove the encroachment on July 5. However, it
failed to do so on that day, which has caused resentment among the
Panchayat members of the village.
Accusing
the administration of adopting dilly dallying tactics over the issue,
the Panchayat members had threatened to resign from their posts if
the encroachment was not removed by July 11. The administration
finally completed the process of removal of encroachment from the
land and getting back the possession of the encroached land by
leveling the standing crops in the land and installing boundary
pillars.
The
village Sarpanch Dharampal has expressed his satisfaction over
removal of encroachment from the land and getting back the possession
of the land. However, one of the encroachers' son Amritpal strongly
opposed the action of the administration saying that no prior notice
was issued
to
them in this regard.
