Govt. will take action against those involved in HRP land scam, says Ashok

Revenue Minister R. Ashok has said the State Government will take action against those involved in granting land, meant for people who lost their land for Hemavathi reservoir project, based on fake documents.

In a press conference in Hassan on Wednesday, Mr. Ashok said around 800 acres of land had been allotted to non-eligible persons. The government would acquire the land and take action against the people and officers involved. Criminal cases would be filed against officers responsible for the illegal grant. “We will release the list of influential people involved in the illegal grant of land”, he said.
