Land grabbing
Land grabbing is a crime. The CS Mouza maps and lands records are regarded as authentic public documents. These maps clearly show the canals, wetlands, ponds, homesteads etc. This public document is a time tested authentic document admissible in every court of law. The people are the owners of these assets and the government machinery is in charge of keeping these in their original form and protect them from land grabbers. If individuals occupy or try to occupy whole and/or a part of any public property, the law enforcers should intervene and foil all such attempts. the managers should spontaneously rise to foil the attempt and the trespassers must be brought before the civil and criminal courts. That laws are weak and inadequate is a plea not acceptable to the people. Failure on the part of the custodians of public property to do what they are required to do is tantamount to a serious lapse.
There may be inadequacies in the law. All laws are not comprehensive and exhaustive because the legislature cannot contemplate all the complexities and the problems of various natures that may arise with the passage of time. What we need now is a will to do good to people.
