Haryana directive to secys: Get info on trusts land from 66

Sources said Chhatar Singh,principal secretary to the chief minister,who called the meeting did not specify the reason why it was needed so urgently.

The state government on Wednesday instructed its 40-odd secretaries to gather information regarding the manner in which land was given to charitable trusts in the state,starting from the day Haryana came into existence in 1966,and provide it by Thursday morning.

The secretaries are expected to give details of land either granted,gifted,leased or sold to charitable trusts,the conditions laid down therein for the trusts and the time period when this was done,senior officers who attended the meeting said.

Sources said Chhatar Singh,principal secretary to the chief minister,who called the meeting did not specify the reason why it was needed so urgently.

Sources also pointed out that the agenda of Wednesdays special meeting was not charitable trusts but gathering information on the performance of Haryana government during which a special mention was made of the charitable trusts.

A two-line agenda for the meeting was issued by Chhatar Singh on August 1 stating the secretaries should be present for a meeting on information gathering.

The entire process comes after a controversy broke out regarding the land leased out by Ullahawas village panchayat to Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust.
