झांसी के 82 एकड़ के प्राचीन लक्ष्मी-तालाब और 490 एकड़ के नगर-पार्क के अतिक्रमण पर कार्यवाही न करने पर', NGT नाराज
झांसी। सरकार से लगातार अतिक्रमण की शिकायत से थक-हारकर एनजीटी के दरवाजे पर जाना मजबूरी बन गई है। झांसी के एडवोकेट बीएल भाष्कर, गिरजा शंकर राय, नरेन्द्र कुशवाहा की याचिका 165/2021 पर लगातार खेल जारी है। लगभग 82 एकड़ के नगरीय क्षेत्र के प्राचीन लक्ष्मीतालाब और 490 एकड़ के नगर-पार्क की भूमि पर बडे़ पैमाने पर अवैध कब्जे हैं। एनजीटी ने तालाब और नगर-पार्क की भूमि को कब्जामुक्त किये जाने के आदेश दिये थे। एनजीटी के आदेश पर नगर निगम और ‘झांसी विकास प्राधिकरण’ ने कुछ सात धार्मिक स्थलों को चिंहित कर उन्हें नोटिस जारी कर दिया। निजी बिल्डरों की ज़मीन के बारे में कार्रवाई करने की बजाय ‘ प्राचीन धार्मिक स्थलों’ के आड़ में प्राधिकरण अवैध भू-माफियाओं को बचाने में लगा हुआ है।
