UP Irrigation Department Issues Notice Over Land Linked To Mukhtar Ansari In Flagship Project

The Uttar Pradesh Irrigation Department has issued a notice regarding land reportedly associated with late mafia-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, where a major government infrastructure project is being developed. The move has drawn attention to land ownership records and legal claims tied to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's flagship development initiative.

Authorities are conducting verification of land acquisition and ownership documentation to ensure all parcels in the project are free from legal disputes and that proper government procedures were followed. Officials stated the notice does not halt project work but seeks clarification on specific land records and documentation related to properties once controlled by Ansari.
