Sources said, the Bhusan Steel and power company has purchased about 39.25 acres of land located in the village Khadiapali under Rengali Tahasil and got mutated on 20th may 2008 in its fevour. The documents of the company showed a payment of Rs.98 lakhs which is much less than the market price. On the other hand the land owners Sidheswari Pal and Dibya Kishore Pal had filed an appeal in the court of the addl. Sub Collector denying any payment from the company. They claimed that the company had cheated them by transferring the land fraudulently.
“We have no knowledge about the transfer of the land. We have appealed before the addl. Sub collector to cancel the mutation of the land in fevour of the company as the transfer was totally illegal”, land owner Sidheswari told.
It may be informed that the industrial houses have purchased lands from local people directly violating the norms of state R& R policy. As per the law the company has to acquire the land through government agency with proper rehabilitation to the land losers. But the thousands of people have been deprived from getting the proper rehabilitation and employment as the companies have transferred the lands fraudulently. Some government officials are also hand in globes in the matter. “The case of Sidheswari has proved how she was cheated by the industrial houses. Here you can not only hold responsible to the industrial houses as this can not be possible with out the support of the government officials”, Sambalpur lawyer Vedavyas Supakar told.
