Noida: Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta NK Mehrotra has given a clean chit to previous Mayawati government in the state. The Lokayukta on Monday said that there was no scam in allotment of farm houses in Noida, according to news agency PTI.
The allotment was done when Mayawati was the Chief Minister of the state. Lokayukta NK Mehrotra found no irregularities in distribution of the farmhouses.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav had ordered an investigation into the farmhouse scheme by Noida Development Authority Chairman Rakesh Bahadur. The scheme allegedly led to a loss of Rs 150 crore to the state's exchequer.
The allegation was that the land was bought from farmers for industrial use, but sold as farmhouses instead on a first-come first-serve basis. The scheme with 101 farmhouses of 1000 square metres and bigger was launched at Sector 162 in Noida.
