BJP government to conduct vigilance probe into land transfer

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Haryana, India, has decided to conduct a vigilance probe into the transfer of approximately 122 acres of land from Associated Cement Companies’ (ACC) Bhupendra factory to a Mumbai-based builder, reports The Times of India.  

Latika Sharma, MLA, Kalka (BJP), has stated that, as per the lease deed of the factory, the land could only be used for industrial purposes, but during the tenure of the previous government it was transferred to a builder for the purpose of building a township.

"An FIR in the issue was registered by Haryana police after our government came into power. During the investigation some startling facts have emerged, and the state government has decided to get a probe conducted by the Haryana vigilance bureau," said Education Minister, Ram Bilas Sharma, on Thursday.
