Vizag land scam: SIT sitting on complaints!

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the land scams and tampering of land record cases in Visakhapatnam district, seems to be passing its time and letting the case fizzle out on its own, instead of finding out the real culprits.

Despite receiving a large number of complaints with regard to land scam, the SIT authorities are sitting over the same without taking any follow-up action. And what is worse, the SIT is learnt to have asked an extension of two more months to complete its investigation.

On Wednesday, the SIT authorities came under fire for their inaction at the Zilla Parishad general body meeting.

A ZPTC member pointed out that though he had submitted complaint to SIT on encroachments of 80 acres of government lands at Madakapalem with concrete evidence, there was no action initiated till date.

“Some other complaints were also lodged from the same mandal with the SIT. This includes disappearance of as many as five tanks. But the SIT has not begun its investigation so far. Tahsildars and VROs in the region are behaving arbitrarily, and tampered land records. We need the SIT to probe this without further delay,” he said.

Looks like the Naidu government is gradually diluting the Vizag land scam without taking any action against the culprits.
