CBI should probe Gwal Pahari land scam: INLD

Haryana's main opposition party INLD today demanded a CBI probe into the Gwal Pahari "land scam" in Gurugram district.
"The land scam is said to involve around Rs 4,500 crore. Without any further delay, the chief minister should give a reply on the issue in the House and hand over the probe to the CBI or any other independent agency," Opposition Leader Abhay Chautala told reporters on the sidelines of the ongoing Budget Session of the state Assembly here.
The Gurugram Municipal Corporation had recently issued notices to individuals to vacate its over 450 acres of land in Gwal Pahari.

The land is currently in the hands of various individuals, private developers and farmhouse owners. The entitlement of the land and mutation have been in dispute for over three decades.
Gwal Pahari is part of the Aravalli range with the Gurugram-Faridabad road passing through it. Due to its prime location and scope for development, it is much sought-after by developers and realtors.
Even the BJP MLA from Gurugram, Umesh Aggarwal, had recently attacked the state government, led by his party, raising questions about the ownership of the Gwal Pahari land.
