North India Statesman
News India Live, Digital Desk: If you go to any police station, look at the pile of files, out of 10 you will find only 8 cases of land dispute. Sometimes there is a feud between brothers, and sometimes a strongman is grabbing the land of a poor person. But now it seems that bad days are about to come for these ‘land mafias’ in Bihar.
Deputy CM of Bihar Vijay Kumar Sinha has announced in clear words that the government is now in a mood to end the land dispute from its roots.
What is the ‘master plan’ of the government?
Vijay Sinha said that the government is working on a system where there is no scope for irregularities.
- Land Survey: Land survey work is going on in full swing in Bihar. Its purpose is that whose paper, his land. Old rivalries should end and records should become online.
- Hunter on Mafias: Sinha said in strong words that now the era is gone when criminals used to get ‘political shelter’. Now if someone encroaches on government land or the land of a poor person, then bulldozers will be used on it and legal action will also be taken against him.
“Criminal has no caste”
Often crime in Bihar is linked to caste and party. Deputy CM gave a big statement on this. He said that “a criminal has no caste, his only job is to trouble the society.” The government’s mantra is clear that whoever does wrong will go to jail, no matter how influential he is.
What will be the benefit to the public?
If this plan of the government is implemented properly, then the common man will get the most relief. Those who have been going to court for years to get their land will get justice. Digitization will bring transparency and no one will be able to grab your land by making fake papers.
This statement of Vijay Sinha is a warning to those who consider land as ‘looted property’. Now it remains to be seen how soon the effect of this ‘master plan’ is visible on the ground. But one thing is certain – the government’s intentions now appear clear and strict.
