Land-related documents dumped in a dustbin on Nagamangala taluk office premises
Deputy commissioner Kumara said, “After coming to know about the incident, when I asked the officials concerned, they said the documents appeared to have been discarded after the premises were cleaned. It is a case of negligence,” he said. “It is alleged that after cleaning the premises, waste paper found there was dumped in the dustbin. However, this is not the way to dispose waste paper or old documents.
The documents were reportedly found discarded during a period when the taluk office is under scrutiny over allegations of large-scale land irregularities, including illegal transfer of govt land and alleged bogus allotments under the Bagar Hukum scheme. The action also follows an investigation by ED.
Nagamangala taluk office had earlier come under the scanner of Lokayukta, which raided the premises in connection with alleged irregularities.
