    Indian Army & Land Mafia

    i have personally seen Land belonging to Indian army, being grabbed by Land Mafia in Delhi. There is a well-entrenched nexus between arms dealers and serving and retired officials in the defence ministry, with or without political links. Another huge source of corruption in the defence establishment comes from the manipulation of land records and irregularities in land deals with the connivance of defence and civilian officials to benefit unscrupulous builders and politicians. The Sukna land scam, revolving around the illegal transfer of 71 acres of land adjacent to the Sukna military station near Siliguri, West Bengal, to a private educational trust led to the sensational dismissal of former Military Secretary Lt Gen Avadesh Prakash. Prior to that, Lt Gen PK Rath was punished in the same case.In Mumbai’s Adarsh Housing Society scam, former defence officials indicted by the CBI include Brig (Retd) MM Wanchoo, retired defence estate officer RC Thakur, Maj Gen (Retd) AR Kumar and Maj Gen (Retd) TK Kaul, all accused with criminal conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code and various sections under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988. Former IAS officer Sanjeev Sablok writes on his website that corruption in the Military Engineering Services (MES) has been "as entrenched as in the PWD” even before the Bofors scam.

    Defence Ministry struggles to break Official Land Mafia Nexus

    Defence Ministry struggles to break Official Land Mafia Nexus


    Rapid Urbanisation Making Defence Plots Lucrative For
    Sharks
    New Delhi: From Sukna to Adarsh, Kandivali-Malad to now Landour, defence and land
    scams have become synonymous in the country.
    Stung by a series of land swindles overthe last decade, the defence ministry has taken
    several steps to set things right but is yet to really break the deep-rooted nexus
    between officials and the land shark-builder combine.
    The countrys largest landowner with a staggering 17.5 lakh acres under its belt, the
    defence ministry has for long grappled with controversies arising due to
    encroachments, land-grab bids, mismanagement of leases and grant of no-objection
    certificates .(NOCs) to private builders to construct buildings on military land or
    plots. The ongoing legal tussle between hotelier Sanjay Narangs Dahila Bank luxury
    holiday resort and the neighbouring DRDO lab at the Landour cantonment in
    Mussoorie is just the latest example.
    Cricket icon-turned MP Sachin Tendulkars intervention with defence minister
    Manohar Parrikar on behalf of his friend Narang has only served to propel the
    security wrangle into the limelight.
    Whatever be the merits of the case,
    the defence ministry says it has
    undertaken the digitisation of land
    records, including those of the 62
    cantonments, regulated issuance of
    NOCs, entrusted land audits to the
    directorate general of de-fence
    estates (DGDE) and the liketo ensure
    proper land management.

    Prevention of new encroachments


    and removal of older ones is an
    ongoing process, said an official.
    Insiders, however; say there are still
    alot of loopholes which can be
    exploited by nefarious elements to
    encroach on prime defence land. The
    problem is that most of the
    cantonments and military stations were originally located on the outskirts of towns
    and cities. But with rapid urbanisation, the cantonments now flnd themselves
    situated bang in the middle of cities or towns.

    Consequently unscrupulous elements are always in the hunt to corner chunks of


    some prime property said another official. The defence ministry does own some
    pretty tony real estate, from the sprawling maidan in front of Victoria Memorial in
    Kolkata, the huge cantonment in Delhi and the Navy Nagar in south Mtunbai to hill
    stations like Dalhousie, Lansdowne, Kasauli and Landour

    National audit watchdog CAG has in the past called for an independent defence land
    management authority (DLMA) because of the "..complete lack of accountability and
    multiplicity of agencies dealing withdefence land.
    DGDE should function under DLMNS control. Powers of local military authorities
    and defence estate of offices to dispose of land, including issuing of NoCs , should be
    withdraw and vested DLMA," it said
