Addressing a Press conference here on Tuesday, he charged the district administration with supporting the land sharks in the city.

Singh accused the State government of exploiting the middle class and weaker sections and helping the land mafiosi take over the city’s nazul lands. Singh said that several nazul lands had been captured by the land mafiosi who work in mutual understanding with the corrupt administrative authorities.

The authorities, instead of checking the activities of these land sharks, had been evicting the poor and the middle class people of their residences.

Singh demanded that the government and the district administration should provide the poor and slum-dwellers so that they could build their houses.

Meanwhile, in another development the all-India University Employees Confederation (AIUEC) president and former member of Lok Sabha Bhabani Shankar Hota will meet the members and office-bearers of various AU unions on Wednesday.

Hota, a former Vice-Chancellor of the Institute of Constitutionary and Parliamentary Studies, a deemed university and former member of Railway Board arrived Allahabad on Tuesday.
