Hyderabad: After a quick lull, the state government has stepped up investigation into the alleged encroachment of designated and endowment lands by ousted health minister Etala Rajendar.Officials from Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) and Alertness and Enforcement (V-E) went to Masaipet on Monday and analyzed land records from the time as old as from 1980 at the MRO office to evaluate the level of assigned land encroachments by Jamuna Hatcheries owned by member of the family of Rajender.
Concurrently, officials from the income department performed a questions into the problem on Monday.
Masaipet mandal revenue officer (MRO) Malathi and Veldurthi MRO Suresh went to the appointed lands and recorded the declarations of town secretaries on how the lands were moved to Jamuna Hatcheries.Speaking to the media later on, both the MROs said that Jamuna Hatcheries obtained NOC (no objection certificate) for regularisation of assigned lands by applying pressure on town secretaries in 2018 and 2019.
They stated that Jamuna Hatcheries was establishing a poultry feed plant versus the standards in Hakimpet even after the town secretaries provided notices two times to stop the works.
They said the village secretaries stopped the works after it was discovered that the firm was laying roads over a degree of 5.35 acres versus standards.
The MROs notified that they had actually issued notices to 75 farmers owning 90 acres and a thorough land survey would be conducted from May 26 to 28 to establish the level of encroachments.The Medak district administration had actually previously surveyed these lands and submitted a report to the state government on May 1 specifying that Rajendar's poultry farm had actually intruded 66 acres.However, the Huzurabad MLA's member of the family challenged the report in the High Court.
The High Court questioned the 'unusual haste' by officials in finishing 170-acre survey in a single day and reserve the report sent by Medak collector S Harish.
The questions was halted ever since.
Similarly, the probe into the infringement of Devarayamjal temple lands by Rajendar too was halted on May 8 after the High Court observed why there was an urgency to form IAS officers committee and engage senior authorities and district collectors to probe into this problem at a time when individuals were dying due to Covid-19 in the state.
The federal government informed the court that it was just a preliminary inquiry and an in-depth questions will be conducted later.Official sources said the federal government asked the committee to resume the probe and send a report to the federal government in two weeks.
These probe reports will be submitted to the High Court which is anticipated to hear these cases once again in July.
