The Kalimpong CPM today submitted a deputation to Sub-divisional land revenue and land reform head Ijra G Namchu alleging illegal sale of leased land. CPM Kalimpong unit secretary Tara Sundas alleged the leased lands are being illegally sold by the department by producing fake documents and without the knowledge of the owners. He said, as per the 1932 state manual of Land Revenue Department, Government of West Bengal, the permission to change the name of the owner of the leased land should be given by the District Collector. Citing an example, Sundas said, "The land revenue and land reform office in Kalimpong changed the name under the leased land provided to Tempo Denshepa in Thanadara and has allotted it to 12 other people."
He said the information about the particular issue along with other similar cases have been included in the deputation letter. The CPM leader also informed many such leased lands are facing legal issues and are in court, but despite the legalities the department is providing documents and other papers related to such lands. He suggested legal action against people involved in selling leased lands with fake documents. Meanwhile, department head Ijra G Namchu rubbished the allegation, but said the department will look into the issue.
