Subject: Complaint regarding political interference and illegal allotment of RMC shop rooms at Aul, Kendrapara
Respected Sir,
With deep concern and hope for justice, I would like to bring to your kind notice the serious irregularities, political interference, and injustice in the allotment of shop rooms under the Regulated Market Committee (RMC) at Aul, Kendrapara.
The RMC shopping complex was established for the benefit of genuine farmers, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and agricultural traders for the sale and storage of agricultural inputs and outputs. However, genuine organizations and farmers are being deprived due to political influence and favouritism.
The RMC shopping complex was established for the benefit of genuine farmers, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and agricultural traders for the sale and storage of agricultural inputs and outputs. Unfortunately, the Secretary of RMC has allegedly allotted many shop rooms to politically influential persons, BJD workers, and relatives of contractors instead of genuine farmers and agricultural organizations.
It is very unfortunate that several persons who have been allotted these shop rooms are not directly involved in agricultural activities. Many of them have occupied the rooms and are further giving them to other persons on rental basis for their personal financial benefit.
Our organization, AUL AGRO PRODUCER COMPANY LIMITED, had been sanctioned two shop rooms and we deposited the required security amount for establishing agricultural input and output stores to serve the farming community. However, after our sanction and deposit of security money, the RMC authorities were allegedly pressurised by the then Sub-Collector and the then Vice Chairman of Kendrapara Zilla Parishad, who was a BJD leader, not to provide the rooms to our organization by describing us as an RSS-based organization.
After our serial number in the allotment process, several BJD workers and relatives of the then Vice Chairman were reportedly allotted the same shop rooms and benefited from the allotment process. Even after three years, we have not been provided possession of the shop rooms despite repeated requests and follow-ups before the concerned authorities.
Such illegal practices are depriving genuine farmers, FPOs, and agricultural entrepreneurs from receiving the facilities that were specifically created for their welfare and development.
Therefore, I humbly request your good office to kindly:
- Order an impartial inquiry into the allotment process of the RMC shop rooms at Aul, Kendrapara.
- Verify the eligibility and background of the present occupants of the shop rooms.
- Cancel the allotments made in favour of ineligible and politically connected persons.
- Ensure fair allotment of shop rooms to genuine farmers, FPOs, and agricultural organizations like AUL AGRO PRODUCER COMPANY LIMITED.
- Take strict action against the officials involved in corruption, favouritism, and misuse of public property.
We have full faith in your leadership and commitment towards transparency, cooperation, and the welfare of farmers and agricultural organizations in Odisha. We sincerely hope that justice will be delivered to genuine farmers and deserving organizations who have been deprived due to political interference.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
Adv Jagannath Mohanty
