Nagpur: The Draft Development Scheme No. 1 of Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) has come under intense scrutiny and found to be riddled with favouritism to a select few. The scrutiny has invariably bared ‘benami’ transactions and thriving foul play being enacted by concerned NIT authorities.

A letter sent to Chairman of Nagpur Improvement Trust and forwarded to Nagpur Today by Rajesh Pugalia, Managing Director of a private company and leader of Aam Aadmi Party has ripped apart the Draft Development Scheme No. 1 of NIT by saying that frauds are being committed under the shadow of the scheme. Stating facts and figures, Pugalia has raised objection on the Draft Development Scheme No. 1 and demanded a thorough probe into the deals favouring some 15-odd names enclosed with the letter.Following are the contents of the letter sent to NIT Chairman:

Pugalia has pointed out some of very serious objectionable points in the draft scheme such as

1) In your above scheme, it is observed that this is made to give selective advantage to certain group of people as I am enclosing list of 15 persons /companies which are holding more than 43% of final plot area (2406629 sq metre out of total 5592388).

2) Most of the land purchase by this group is after NIT started preparing this development plan. This raises doubt of selective leak of plan by NIT insider.

3) Some of the company / person are looking shadow company or benami detail of each group Or person to be verify to get know their capacity of development.

4) It is also to get from Collector Office that they have got necessary valid permission to buy agriculture land.

5) It is also very  big question mark for success of the scheme if these 15 persons have capacity to develop 50 million square metre of construction with required investment of nearly Rs 10,000 crore.

6) It is also very serious issue that for giving the advantage to 15 persons huge fund of NIT and Government is in use in this scheme.

7) It apparently looks there maybe major corruption issue in this scheme and required to be investigated by proper authority.
