Mafia trying to encroach on 1.50 acres allotted to govt school in Ludhiana, says former Cong MLA; writes to DC

Talwar in his complaint to the deputy commissioner has written “efforts were being made by the land mafia to encroach on the piece of land where the government primary school was proposed.”

“During previous Congress government, the land was transferred in the name of education department and foundation stone was also laid for the school which was to be built by Ludhiana Improvement Trust. As per the latest market rates, the land costs Rs 8-10 crore and now land mafia is trying to encroach this prime land. They have even vandalised the foundation stone of the school which was laid during our government. This is happening because the AAP government has failed to start the construction of the school and now some criminals are trying to the encroach the prime land which has already been transferred to education department,” said Talwar.

He added: “The ownership of this land was transferred to education department and LIT was supposed to construct government primary smart school for Rs 3 crore. But the current government has failed to start construction of the project till now,” said Talwar.
