अतिक्रमण सबसे बड़ा खतरा !!!

The Honorable Chief Minister, Bihar & others

Subject:-Encroachment sector a bigger threat than terror threat

Sir,

Encroachment is no longer a provincial problem, even metro cities are paying heavy price for encroachment. Let alone the public even public utilities viz hospital, educational institution, court and government offices are also heavy sufferers. The reputed public institution like PMCH, Patna, NMCH, Patna, courts, ITI, Patna, bank and VVIPs residence are facing the problems of gates (entry & exit) and others. It has virtually developed into such a bigger institution that even High and Supreme Court's order to remove them have become fairy tales.

There are many examples in Patna alone where Supreme Court's orders have proved weaker than Panchayat order. It is not so that we don't have the power and resources to manage the encroachment, we actually consider this problem trivial or we ignore tackling encroachment because we think that the encroachment turns out to be a vote bank every election. This is our folly to consider the encroachment a vote bank because the encroachment is falsely on sale during election and later it damages the civility causing huge loss to the public en masse and VVIPs also.

The administrative apathy to remove encroachment or to execute the court's order to remove encroachment is the impetus not only to mass encroachment but also mass law breaking acts because they think that the administration is helpless to even touch the people in gangs. It is old news that the encroachments have been a den of criminals and a magazine on many occasions. The encroachment also serves as cheap accommodation for absconders and persons involved in recce.

Encroachment has gained such momentum that the affluent and powerful people are also involved in encroachment sector to earn more and more with little or no investment under the pretext of poverty and homelessness.

The government rue shortage of money, on the other hand, government land and property in highest rate slab are under constant encroachment on the name of poverty and homelessness. The land exclusively along Baans Ghat to Danapur (Ashok Rajpath) belonging to the District Board and PWD can surplus the exchequer of the state or can muster at least huge percentage of the amount that we need for multilateral development. The said area under encroachment adjoins Ashok Rajpath which is a regular and helpless witness of routine traffic jam.

The removal of encroachment can draw flak from various organizations and opposition but the regulation of the encroachment involving identification of needy people and accommodating them in multistoried buildings would serve both better management of encroachment and generating surplus amount to partially poor exchequer.

The unique policy to tackle encroachment would win accolade from across the states and nation as our many of the policies have been praised and adopted by various state and central governments.

Unreasonable and illogical sympathy with the encroachments by the government and its administration lands even the relatives of the government and its administration into serious problems sooner or later. We must try to find a ways to balance encroachment, safety, resources, infrastructure and political benefits.

I, therefore, appeal you to be first to work in the direction so that Bihar may remain a leader in serious popular policy making.

Regards and Thanks
