Revenue Minister faces heat over illegal plotting issue :

Revenue Minister Tankram Verma came under intense scrutiny in the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly on Tuesday over issues related to illegal plotting and unauthorised colonies, with both Opposition and ruling party members questioning his handling of the matter. The Opposition, dissatisfied with the responses, later staged a walkout after accusing the Minister of shielding those involved in such activities. Raising concerns over illegal plotting in Dhamtari and Kanker, MLA Ambika Markam sought details on complaints received between early 2024 and January 31, 2026, along with information on verification of land records and action taken.
