In latest news from Uttarakhand, the 15 nali land purchased by the noted Bollywood actor Manoj Bajpayee at Kapkot under Lamgarha block in Almora district in 2021 has come under the State government’s scanner. The senior district administration officials said that a probe was on into the matter. Bajpayee had purchased the land for a yoga and meditation centre, but the locals said no construction had come up on the land.
Notably, with the locals demanding stringent land law to stop acquisition of lands by outsiders, the chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami had directed the officers concerned to verify whether the existing land laws are being complied with in the lands acquired by outsiders.
