With skyrocketing land prices, instances of land grab are on the rise in Gujarat, prompting the State authorities to act tough on mafias that grab government or private land using forged documents and false records.
After the Gujarat Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act was enacted in 2020, the State administration has lodged 586 FIRs, under which a total of 2,256 individuals have been booked.
The authorities have filed the charge-sheet in 336 cases out of 586 FIRs that have been lodged.
