Following the high court order a judicial commission has been set up by the Uttarakhand government to look into the allegation of involvement of some officials in a housing project scam in Rishikesh. According to a government spokesman the one-member judicial commission is being headed by B C Kandpal a former judge of Uttarakhand High Court and the commission will investigate about the involvement of government officials in the housing scam. The spokesman also said that another probe panel set up by the state government is being headed by Justice Kandpal. This panel will examine the 56 alleged scams that were unearthed during the previous Congress regime.
Last year the state was rocked by the issue following protests made by opposition parties led by the congress. The opposition parties demanded a CBI probe on the alleged allotment of project to Sturdia Developers, a Mumbai based real estate company, by the government allowing the developer to develop a project on an industrial land belonging to Citurgia Bio-chemicals Pvt Ltd on banks of the river Ganga. The opposition parties alleged that the said project violated environmental norms and that the land was sold to Sturdia Developers at a throw away price on the behest of the BJP government.
