Land deal

Little did Thakur Ramkrishna know when he said,’ Taka mati,mati taka(money’s soil, soil’s money)to convey his nonchalant attitude to money that it would mean to many ‘money’s land, land’s money’. This mundane concept breeds dishonest practices almost every where. Most of the land deals, particularly on large scale, invariably involve corruption. Now free and fare land deal is an unheard-of phenomenon. But you can’t avoid procurement of land for developmental purposes. If entire business is left to private hands, malpractices multiply manifold. That doesn’t necessarily mean land deal handled by government is free from corruption. Any way, land episode at Vedic village or Rajarhat that’s kicked off a row is only tip of the iceberg!
