Chandigarh, July 31: Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister Anil Vij today heard public grievances at his residence in Ambala Cantonment and directed the police to register cases and take strict legal action in separate cases of alleged land fraud.

A woman resident of the B.D. Flour Mill area submitted a complaint stating that she had entered into a deal with a local property dealer for the purchase of a plot and had paid an advance amount of approximately ₹2.5 lakh. However, the dealer neither handed over the plot nor returned the advance payment. Taking serious note of the complaint, Vij directed the DSP, Ambala Cantonment, to register a case and initiate appropriate legal action.

In another complaint, a resident alleged that a property located in Bengali Mohalla was under litigation and covered by a court stay order. Despite the stay, the property was allegedly sold by another party. Vij directed the DSP, Ambala Cantonment, to investigate the matter and take action in accordance with the law.

After hearing the complaint, the Minister directed the Mahesh Nagar Police Station to take immediate action and ensure the arrest of the accused in accordance with law.

In another case, a complainant informed the Minister that his electricity connection had been disconnected in 2012, but he had recently received an electricity bill amounting to several lakhs of rupees. Vij directed the Superintending Engineer (SE) of the Energy Department to conduct a detailed inquiry into the matter.
