Ex-MLA Protests Forest Land Notice at DFO Office in KangraSaralnama

7 months ago, Roman Bhakkal was disqualified as Sakri panchayat head for alleged land encroachment. On Friday, former MLA Hoshiar Singh and BJP supporters protested at the Dehra DFO office in Kangra against a forest land encroachment notice issued to Bhakkal, now BJP Haripur mandal president. Singh accused DFO Sunny Verma of discrimination and working under CM's pressure. Bhakkal claimed political vendetta behind the notice. DFO Verma denied allegations, stating the notice was part of a court process, not an eviction order. He said the case returned from the DC's office and is under reinvestigation.
