Hundreds of people from the district’s rural areas participated in a silent protest at Randhir Verma Chowk, calling for an investigation into land scams and the resolution of land-related issues. The protest was organised by Bhoomi Bachao Sangharsh Morcha, with Ramesh Kumar Rahi serving as its leader.
Put an end to the looting of government and CNT land in Dhokra. Look into cases of dismissals based on false pleas. Look into compensation scams on Ring Road. Finish the investigation into Golakdih compensation scams soon. Look into the land that Deepak Saw took in Ring Road. In exchange, the compensation received was Rs. 1 crore 82 lakh, and no money was received. Dozens of demonstrators with placards bearing slogans inscribed on them sat in silent protest.
The land scam worth Rs. 1000 crore
The silent protest’s leader, Ramesh Kumar Rahi, claimed that Ring Road in Dhanbad is the name of a land scam worth just Rs 200 crore. In addition, there have been numerous other land scams. A scam estimated to be worth Rs 1000 crore will come out if the entire situation is thoroughly investigated.
The ten year long protest
According to Ramesh Rahi, there has been a dispute over the amount of compensation and the investigation of land scams since 2013. Since 2016, ACB has been looking into the land scam. Owners of land do not have rights even in 2024. Although the compensation amount was disclosed, it did not reach Ryot. Hundreds of individuals from all over the district have taken part in the silent protest, according to Ramesh Rahi. These are the same people who are dealing with issues related to their land. They weren’t invited by means of payment. Everybody has arrived independently with their demands.
The local villagers participated in the nonverbal protest.
Golakdih, Dhaiya, Plani, Kanglo, Tila Tand, Gopinathdih, Manai Tand Ring Road, Pichdi, and other rural districts are among the villages that have brought people to the area, according to Ramesh Rahi.
Two-hour silent, symbolic demonstration
This decade-long movement has, according to Ramesh Rahi, regained its intensity. A two-hour silent symbolic protest is taking place today. Next up will be the development of a plan for more violent agitation. The state’s corrupt administration will be awakened by us.
