NAGPUR: Chairman Manoj Kumar Suryawanshi of Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) has allegedly approved allotment of a sprawling land to People’s Progressive Education Society, whose secretary is Sumedha, wife of guardian minister Nitin Raut. The approval came without inviting applications for the allotment, and lacks consent of two trustees — Vikas Thakre and Sandeep Itkelwar. The NIT board of trustees will take a decision on the minutes in a meeting on Thursday.
If the minutes are approved, NIT will submit its decision to the state government seeking relaxation in NIT Land Disposal Rules-2016, so that the land can be allotted to the society directly without inviting applications.
