Ropar ADC Stays Sale of Disputed Panchayat Land Amid Scam Allegations
The Ropar ADC (Development), Chander Jyoti Yadav, has issued interim orders staying the sale and purchase of disputed shamlat land in Bara Phool village, following petitions by the gram panchayat. The land, originally reserved for community use, was allegedly transferred illegally to around 70 private individuals over two decades, with some beneficiaries reportedly non-residents. The panchayat has requested a detailed investigation by the Vigilance Bureau and restoration of the land, while AAP MLA Dinesh Chadha highlighted violations of the Punjab Village Common Lands Act and alleged collusion with officials.
