PoliticsCAG Report Finds Land Conversion Irregularities in Odisha Tehsils
The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report revealed illegal conversion, diversion, and encroachment of hundreds of acres of agricultural and government land in Odisha. Nearly 504 acres in 24 tehsils were converted without following the Orissa Land Reforms Act. About 250 acres were used commercially, 132.8 acres for residential, and 53.6 acres for educational purposes. Revenue officials failed to enforce safeguards, allowing conversions despite objections and without consultations.
