"Notorious practice" of brokers in revenue offices harassing commoners must end, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said
More than 400 land brokers were arrested from different parts of Assam yesterday night in the state government's latest move against corrupt practices in revenue offices. 453 land brokers picked up so far in continuing raids by @assampolice in our concerted pledge to end #AssamFightsDalalRaj. This notorious practice of brokers/dalals in revenue offices harassing commoners must end. Our fight against nefarious activities will go on relentlessly
Informing about the development, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma tweeted, "453 land brokers picked up so far in continuing raids by @assampolice in our concerted pledge to end #AssamFightsDalalRaj. This notorious practice of brokers/dalals in revenue offices harassing commoners must end. Our fight against nefarious activities will go on relentlessly."
During an interaction a few days back, Mr Sarma had asked circle officers in the state to take steps to free their offices from the influence of land brokers. "Give them a gamosa and bid them farewell," the Chief Minister had said.
