Bhubaneswar, Aug 2:
With the indiscriminate allotment of land and houses under the discretionary quota causing a lot of hue and cry over the last few days, a panicky Odisha government today formed a three-member task force to review the entire issue as part of its belated damage control exercise.
The task force would submit its report to the government with recommendations.
A notification to this effect was issued on the orders of chief minister Naveen Patnaik.
The task force, led by Revenue secretary Tara Dutt with secretary Urban Development and special secretary, General Administration as the two other members, would review all discretionary allotments made by the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA), Cuttack Development Authority (CDA), General Administration department and the Odisha State Housing Board (OSHB) and take appropriate action, the notification said.
