Protest demanding arrest of suspended Sub Registrar held
They wanted suspended Sub-Registrar R. Sriganth to be arrested and prosecuted under Prevention of Corruption Act. The representatives criticised the government for not initiating criminal proceedings against the official despite a video of him allegedly taking bribe having coming out in the public domain.
Mr. Nehru said responsibility should also be fixed on District Registrar J. Dayalane who has been overseeing the affairs of the department for sometime now. He questioned the decision of the government to allow Mr. Dayalane to function as District Registrar while holding the important post of Secretary of Legislative Assembly. He is also a member of several legislative committees, the MLA said.
They withdrew the protest after Special Secretary (Revenue)-cum-District Collector A. Kulothungan agreed to examine their demands.

Notice to ex-DFO over ‘Irregularities' in construction of eco-huts in Munsyari
Dehradun: A show-cause notice has been issued to Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Vinay Bhargav, current conservator of forests (western circle), for alleged financial irregularities and illegal construction of permanent concrete structures in the ecologically fragile Munsyari region during his tenure as divisional forest officer (DFO), Pithoragarh forest division. The case, reminiscent of the illegal construction at Corbett Tiger Reserve, involves the building of around 10 VIP eco-huts, a growth centre and a dormitory at an altitude of 8,000 ft in the Kumaon Himalayas, in violation of forest regulations. The matter came to light last year during a routine review of ongoing works by the forest department, as part of preparations for a new forest working plan for Pithoragarh. A detailed probe was subsequently conducted by Sanjiv Chaturvedi, chief conservator of forests (working plan), between Aug and Dec 2024. He submitted a two-part, 700-page report to then head of forest force Dhananjai Mohan in Dec 2024 and Jan 2025. In a Dec 24 communication, Chaturvedi termed the construction a "criminal act" under Section 3A of the Forest Conservation Act, entire construction had happened in reserved forests sans ministry's approval. He also flagged suspected embezzlement of Rs 1.63 crore and the unauthorised diversion of about 70% of revenue generated from the eco-huts to a local society, without any govt sanction. According to the report, permanent concrete structures were constructed in the Khaliya Reserved Forest in 2019 without mandatory approvals under Section 2 of the Forest Conservation Act, 1980. Chaturvedi wrote: "The gravity of the corruption can be judged from the fact that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Vinay Bhargav, IFS, on Aug 28, 2020, transferring about 70% of the tourism revenue, generated through structures built with large public investment, to a society (Munsyari Eco Vikas Samiti (EDC), Patalthaur Munsyari, Pithoragarh) without any high-level approval. This society was registered only on Sept 4, 2020, after the MoU had been signed. " Citing violations under relevant sections of Forest Conservation Act, Prevention of Corruption Act, IPC and Prevention of Money Laundering Act, Chaturvedi had recommended that the matter be investigated by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate following which state-level proceedings were initiated. The report also alleged the use of shell companies and committees for procurement of construction materials and management of the eco-huts, and noted that the audit covering four financial years was completed in just one day. "It is not possible at all humanly that the audit of salary payments, maintenance revenue, training, etc., for four financial years (i.e., 48 months) could be completed in just one day…a firm from Jaisalmer, thousands of kilometres away from Uttarakhand, was selected for this distorted so-called audit work," said the communication to HoFF. Bhargav had previously faced allegations of financial irregularities during his posting in Narendranagar forest division in 2015 but was exonerated due to 'lack of experience'. Last month, chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami approved a probe into the matter. On Friday, principal secretary (forests) R Sudhanshu gave Bhargav 15 days to respond to the findings. A senior forest official said on condition of anonymity, "The officer has been given 15 days to reply. Let's wait for that. The govt will take further steps accordingly." TOI attempted to contact Bhargav for a comment, but he was unreachable.
