The municipal corporation (MC) will get all registry of land in unauthorised colonies cancelled, which were done on the basis of fake no-dues certificates generated with the help of illegal temporary IDs. For it, a committee led by Karnal SDM Ayush Sinha has been constituted and the team has started the scrutiny of registries.

As many as 113 registries of land were done on the basis of fake no-dues certificates which were generated from the no-dues certificates of the MC between November 21, 2020, and January 31, 2021. These were generated by creating illegal temporary IDs. The team members are checking the record to ascertain how many registries were related to unauthorised colonies.

“I have constituted a team of Karnal SDM and DRO to check the record and find out how many registries of the unauthorised colonies were done on the basis of these no-dues certificates,” said Nishant Kumar Yadav, Deputy Commissioner. He maintained that all registries of land in unauthorised colonies would be cancelled.

Meanwhile, the issuance of no-dues certificates was stopped in the MC. “We have also stopped the process of the issuance of no-dues certificates from the MC till the portal starts functioning properly,” said the DC.

On the other hand, the economic cell of the Karnal police has also started investigation. It is also investigating the record and the employees are also being questioned by the police. However, no arrest has been made so far.

“We have started the investigation and received some record. We will come to the conclusion soon,” said Ganga Ram Punia, Superintendent of Police.
