MENDHAR, May 22: The Horticulture Department staff and Revenue authorities foiled attempt of a villager to grab some Horticulture Department land near Dak Bangalow in Mendhar town today.
Official sources said that with the intervention of Deputy Commissioner, Poonch, M H Malik, the Horticulture Department staff and a few Revenue officials removed the encroachment on nearly two marlas of Govt land. One Abdul Rashid Khan of Gohlad tried to make Pucca passage through Govt land and grab a portion of it. About 8 kanal and 15 marlas of land in Khasra No. 145, 170 and 178 was allotted to Horticulture Department in 1962. But two local villagers managed revenue entries of some of this land on their own name.
The DC directed the concerned Tehsildar and SDM to conduct inquiry and take appropriate action in this regard. He recommended stern action for tempering of record or making fake entries in the revenue record. CHO, Poonch Mr Koul claimed that this entire land belonged to Horticulture Department and land grabbing will not be allowed.
