Aizawl, Mar 23 : Mizoram chief minister Lal Thanhawla today said that he would initiate investigations into the reported massive malpractices committed by officials of the state land revenue and settlement department.
Intervening during question hour in the state legislature, Lal Thanhawla said that he would order the investigations by the state anti corruption bureau (ACB) or the central bureau of investigations (CBI) into the alleged malpractices including corruption by the department officials, especially the surveyors.
"It was known that many land revenue and settlement department officials, especially the surveyors have been indulging in fraudulent claims of compensation when the government acquired lands for public purposes" he said.
In reply to a query from B. Lalthlengliana of the opposition Mizo National Front (MNF), state land revenue and settlement minister J H Rothuama said that the government did not have any intention to give part of the land belonging to C. Lalnunnema registered under Periodic Patta no.304 of 1976.
In a supplementary question, Lalthlengliana, however, alleged that there were some officials who had tried to take away part of the land of Lalnunnema.
