Chhattisgarh Minister's wife accused of acquiring 4.12 hector of state forest land, resort construction underway

Raipur: Sarita Agrawal, wife of Chhattisgarh cabinet minister Brijmohan Agrawal, has been accused of acquiring a portion of the state's forest land and building a resort on it. As per the reports of ANI, Sarita is said to have acquired 4.12 hector of the Chhattisgarh forest land, raising questions of propriety and conflict of interest.

According to official documents, the land originally belonged to Vishnu Ram Sahu who is a farmer, who had donated the same to the government to the then Madhya Pradesh Water Resources (WRD) department in the year 1994 for Public welfare. Later on, the land was transferred to the forest department. Moreover, after nine years, Rs 22.90 lakh was spent on the afforestation of this land.

The episode came under the spotlight in March 2015 when a member of Kisan Mazdoor Sangh, Lalit Chandranahu urged the collector to look into the matter.

Chandranahu in his letter alleged that while the piece of land was donated to the government, the revenue records don't include the information.
