Locals protested on Thursday evening after they saw illegal mining being done on the public land of Siraha's Golbazar Nagarpalilka-2, Turkey. However, after the diggers threatened to 'throw the tipper on Jiu', they informed the sub divisional forest office at Choharwa.
The forest team, which was hesitant at first, took control of an excavator, a tipper and a driver used in the excavation from there after pressure from the locals. However, the vehicle and the driver were secretly released before daylight on Friday.
Forest has asked the District Coordination Committee to impose a fine on the public land as private residential land and released the vehicle and the driver. According to the District Coordination Committee, only 20,000 fines have been paid for excavators and 15,000 fines for tippers.
Meanwhile, Avid Hussain, head of sub division forest office Choharwa, is not clear that the excavated land is private. "It was not possible to determine whether the land is public or private," Hussain told Kantipur.
Local Shiv Thapa alleges that the Forest Office and the District Coordination Committee have been given immunity through financial manipulation. "We are the local people here, we had informed the forest because it is public land, but we were given immunity through financial manipulation," he asked, "will public land become private if someone says it?" Shouldn't the government agency do an investigation?''
belongs to Vijay Sah, the contractor of Golbazar, the excavator and tipper that was taken under control by the forest. Locals allege that he has been carrying out illegal excavation work for a long time by influencing the forest, police, municipality and district coordination committee in different parts of Golbazar area. However, Sah claimed that although he was a construction businessman, he did not do excavation.
