MP: Railway issues notice to Lord Bajrang Bali for removal of encroachment
Morena (MP), Feb 12: The Railway department has served a notice to Lord Bajrang Bali asking for the removal of the "encroachment" on the Railway land in Sabalgarh town in Madhya Pradesh's Morena district, but withdrew it after realising the mistake, an official said on Sunday.
The notice addressed to Bajrang Bali and issued on February 8, directed the removal of the encroachment within seven days or face action. The encroacher will have to pay the expense if the Railways takes action to remove the structure, it said.
The notice was pasted at the temple of the deity.
After the notice went viral and caused an uproar, the Railways rectified the mistake and issued a new one in the name of the priest of the temple.
Jhansi Railway Division's PRO (Public Relations Officer) Manoj Mathur said the initial notice was served mistakenly.
"Now, the new notice was served to the priest of the temple," he said.
Earlier, the notice was served to "Bajrang Bali, Sabalgarh" by the senior section engineer of the Jhansi railway division.
The structure was to be removed for the construction of the Sheopur-Gwalior broad-gauge line.
The new notice, issued on February 10, was served in the name of Harishankar Sharma, the priest of the temple.

Lokpal seeks additional evidence for inquiry against SEBI chief
New Delhi: The Lokpal, chaired by former Supreme Court Justice AM Khanwilkar, has deferred action on two complaints filed against SEBI Chief Madhabi Puri Buch, stating that the Hindenburg Report alone is insufficient for initiating an inquiry. The Lokpal requested the complainants, including MP Mahua Moitra, to submit additional evidence and verify the authenticity of the report.
The complaints stemmed from allegations in the Hindenburg report that suggested a quid pro quo relationship between the SEBI Chief and offshore funds linked to the Adani Group. However, the Lokpal noted that the report's contents, without further substantiation, do not justify proceeding under the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013.
The Lokpal highlighted the need for foundational facts that demonstrate how the SEBI Chief's actions fall under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and referred to a pending Supreme Court application related to the Hindenburg report. It further directed the complainants to explain their efforts to verify the report's credibility and ordered them to file affidavits outlining specific allegations.
The Lokpal has set the next hearing for October 17.
