Ajmer. A sensational case has come to light in Rajasthan’s Ajmer city of a colonizer carrying out a land scam worth crores of rupees right under the nose of the government machinery. In the ongoing ‘GS Lake Avenue Project’ in Chachiyawas, government drains and valuable lands of Ajmer Development Authority (ADA) have been illegally occupied by flouting the rules. Surprisingly, the ‘Seven Wonder Park’ built under Ajmer Smart City has been razed to the ground on the orders of the Supreme Court due to illegal construction in the buffer zone of Anasagar Lake. Without learning from this major action, ADA officials continued to watch this new illegal project as mute spectators.
This is how customers were deceived by calling the drain a ‘lake’.
Spread over a total land area of about 96,000 square meters, more than 60 percent work of this project has been completed and plots are being sold to people on the pretext of ADA approved map. The colonizer changed the entire look of the government water source to give it a premium look:
Island made in the middle of the drain: An illegal ‘island’ has been created by making a big mound of soil in the middle of the government drain (Khasra No. 2069) spread over an area of about 10,000 square meters. According to the rules, such construction is completely prohibited in any water source or flow area.
Paved road was made by laying pipes: To stop the natural flow of water, a paved road was built over the drain without making an RCC culvert, just by laying cement pipes.
Concrete construction in the buffer zone: According to the rules, it was mandatory to keep the buffer zone of 9 meters from the flow area of the drain completely empty. But the colonizer has constructed concrete pathways, iron culverts and railings in this area.
Boundary wall on 8,100 square meters of government land: The colonizer has captured his private land as well as 1000 square meters of Khasra No. 2068 and 7100 square meters of government land registered in the name of ADA within his illegal boundary wall and main gate.
The map passed under the supervision of these officers
Interestingly, the layout plan and map of this controversial project was passed by the responsible officials of ADA. The list includes: Bharatraj Gurjar (RAS), Deputy Commissioner North, ADA, Mukesh Mittal, Director (Planning), ADA, Sunita, Tehsildar, ADA, Anurag Mishra, Sub-Town Planner, ADA, Sunita Jatav, Inspector of Land Records, ADA, Manoj Kumar, JEN, ADA.
