tribune impact
Mussoorie, September 14 However, the exercise was met with stiff opposition and the board officials were not allowed to enter the premises of Dahlia Bank by the workers of Sanjay Narang for nearly two hours. The officials who arrived at the scene around 12.30 pm tried to serve the notice to seize construction material, tool, machinery, scaffolding and other things used in the erection of the building or execution of any work under Section 239 (2) of the Cantonment Act 2006 to the workers of Sanjay Narang. But they failed in their attempts as Sanjay Narang and his workers refused the board officials, Junior Engineer Prem Singh Rawat and his aides from entering the premises of Survey No 157, Dahlia Bank, Landour Cantonment. The Mussoorie police accompanied with only three or four officials and the Nayab Tehsildar from Mussoorie also showed its inability to enter the premises, citing the reason of not receiving any directions in this regard from their senior officials and absence of the magistrate during the exercise.While heated exchanges were on between the cantonment officials and the workers of Sanjay Narang at the gates of Dahlia Bank, the police and Nayab Tehsildar slipped away discreetly without even attempting to provide support to Landour Cantt Board officials here. After failing in their attempts, junior cantonment board officials informed the CEO, Landour Cantt Board, B.Ajit Reddy, about the whole situation and the stiff resistance being provided by the workers of Sanjay Narang . Following that B. Ajit Reddy served another notice under Section 239 of the Cantonment Act 2006 but failed in their efforts. Seeing the police and the administration disappear from the scene the junior cantonment officials returned back empty-handed without being able to stop the work at the site in the end. When contacted the CEO, Landour Cantonment Board, B.Ajit Reddy, said that Sanjay Narang had not allowed the officials to enter to enter the premises where the construction was going on without any permission in the B3 land of the cantonment board, and it amounted to interfering in the work of government officials. He also said that the a detailed report will be sent to higher authorities and action will be initiated once again in a w days. The Tribune had reported earlier that the Landour Cantonment Board officials had registered a complaint with the police and demanded to stop the ongoing construction at Dahlia Bank cottage being done by the owner. The officials in the complaint said that court in its direction had said that if Sanjay Narang was interested in construction work 50 metres away from the government land (A-1), then he should seek prior permission from the concerned authorities, but he was continuing the construction work without any permission whatsoever. The role of the police in not supporting the Landour Cantomnent Board officials in the whole exercise has also become talk of the town and people are assessing it differently as Sanjay Narang, who is believed to be a close friend of ace cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, has high connections and the inability of the board to act against him is being seen in this light here. The social activist from Mussoorie, Pradeep Bhandari, has alleged that the local administration, police and the Landour Cantonment Board are in collusion with the rich and powerful in the board and that is the main reason that no action was being taken despite the drama which unfolded here today. He also alleged that the silence of the Supreme Court monitoring committee in taking the matter in cognisance is also questionable.
He further alleged that the Supreme Court monitoring committee members were turning a blind eye towards the environmental degradation in the area despite it falling in their purview. The MLA, Mussoorie, Ganesh Joshi, also said that the board wielded its stick on the poor without any hesitation but indulged in delaying tactics when it came to the rich and powerful in the area here. He demanded that law should be same for the rich and poor and the action should be taken accordingly. Meanwhile, residents of the cantonment have termed the whole exercise as mere eyewash and are of the view that Snajay Narang will succeed in constructing the remaining portion of Dahlia Bank and no action will be taken against him in near the future, too. The workers of Sanjay Narang have maintained that they were legally entitled to work on the site and the board was trying to harass them unnecessarily.
