Exhibit 8:
“To
The Inspector
Police Station Bela
Applicant Shri Gajanan Bhauji Ghadge, Age 40, Business Agriculutre, Village Khursapur, Taluk Umred, District Nagpur.
Complaint against Shri Dive, MD Purti Factory, Mr Zade Engineer and Mr Chafle
Subject: Purti Sinchan Kalyankari Sansthan, Kursapur has without my permission taken the possession of land which I have been tilling since 15 years
Sir,
At your service I present my application that I have been directly affected by Vadgaon Dam and have lost 99 acres of farmland. Some of my land which is not submerged and I have been tilling it for the last 15 years for the survival of my family.
Since 1997 I have made several applications requesting that this land should be given to me on permanent basis. I was replied that this land was kept back for beautification so it cannot be returned.
But the officer named Parvat Sahib, a sub divisional engineer on the dam, had given me this land for tilling and had also told me if required it would be taken back. Since then this land has been used by us.
On Saturday 21.06.2008 the sub divisional engineer Mr Komawar called me from his mobile phone and asked me to urgently reach the site. On reaching there I met Shri Dive, MD Purti Factory, Mr Zade Engineer and Mr Chafle who were waiting there with Shri Komawar and the latter told me to give up the land to Purti Factory. I told them I have been tilling the land and paying the tax regularly for the last 15 years. When I asked them for the reason of depriving me of this land the Purti officials and some henchmen stormed at me. I told them I have ploughed the land and without giving me notice you are asking me to leave the possession of this land but I regularly pay you the lease so i will not give back my land.
So the officers and I left the place. After this I have gone out of station for some important work and on my return i found out that the Purti people had planted soya bean in my ploughed land and also fenced it! This happened on a Sunday
On Tuesday I met the MD of Purti and I got a shocking threat that I can do what I like but I will not get my land.
It is my plea that you please get me justice.
Yours faithfully
Gajanan Ghadge
