TFP Bureau, Raipur, July 3, 2024: Acting promptly on a complaint received during Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai’s Jandarshan program, the Raipur district administration has cleared illegal encroachments from a five-acre plot adjacent to the main road in Sejbahar.
Villagers had reported during the Jandarshan that Santosh Dahariya, a resident of Banarsi village in Mana, had unlawfully occupied nearly five acres of government land, constructing permanent structures and engaging in illegal land sales. Chief Minister Sai took immediate notice of the issue and instructed Raipur Collector Dr. Gaurav Singh to investigate and take necessary action.
Collector Dr. Singh tasked Raipur SDM and his team to verify the complaint. The investigation confirmed the encroachment, with shop-like structures and unauthorized land sales creating access issues for farmers during the current farming season.
Today, under the supervision of SDM Shri Nandkumar Choubey, Tehsildar Shri Pawan Kosma, Additional Tehsildar Smt. Tulsi Rathore, and police and revenue staff, JCB machines were used to demolish the illegal structures. Additionally, wire fencing installed by various individuals was removed. This action will ensure farmers have unhindered access to their fields and preserve government land.
Residents of Sejbahar, including Shri Sharda Ram Sahu, Shri Kamta Prasad Sahu, Shri Lalit Sahu, Shri Khelan Sahu, Shri Deendayal Ratre, Shri Dallu Yadav, and Shri Santosh Baghel, expressed their gratitude to Chief Minister Sai and the district administration. They also called for strict measures against those occupying government land illegally.
Following the Chief Minister’s directives, the Raipur district has intensified actions against illegal constructions and unauthorized land transactions. Under the leadership of Collector Dr. Gaurav Singh, the revenue staff is addressing such cases promptly, ensuring the protection of public land and the welfare of the farming community.
