Jasan, Panchkula: Former Haryana Council Pinjore chairman Vijay Bansal has questioned the Haryana Marketing Board officials for advertising the plots of apple mandi. They allege that the rules have been sidelined in the hope of making money through wrong means and the haggling to allot the plot to the mandi. Recently, the advertisement was issued by the Haryana Agricultural Marketing Board through an expression of interest for plotting of plotting in apple mandi, which has been declared illegal by Vijay Bansal.
Bansal says that the Mandi Board has not yet become the owner of the 78 acres of land where the process of selling the plant is being talked about. Wherever a market is made, its owner is the market committee there. Therefore, the proposed HMT apple market is also owned by the Market Committee Panchkula. Vijay Bansal told that the Mandi Board’s deal with HSIIDC for a total of 78 acres of land was fixed at around 49 crores, but when the Mandi Board could not give the money to HSIIDC on time, the cost of the land is now 63 crores due to 8.11 percent interest. has occurred. At the same time, only Rs 36 crore has been deposited by the Market Committee Panchkula. In the 20 shops in Sector-20 Apple Mandi Panchkula, 13 shopkeepers had applied for open bidding. Only three deposited the money. The rest of the shops had to be resumed, causing a loss of crores to the committee.
It is alleged that the applications of Expression of Interest (EOI) sought by the Chief Administrator of the Market Board for plot allocations of apple market have also been declared illegal. Bansal said that according to the rules, when such EOI applications are taken, a five-member committee is formed, in which the market committee’s administrator, secretary, district mandi informent officer, XEN, is the observer of the mandi board. , But in this case, the work of circumventing all rules has been done in the race to corruption.
