Raid on Odisha ashram over government land encroachment

BHUBANESWAR: Acting on the allegation of encroachment of government land, a joint team of General Administration (GA), Revenue and Housing & Urban Development (H&UD) departments on Monday raided the city-based Shree Baikuntha Dham Ashram that has landed in controversy for reportedly projecting a boy as ‘Kalki Avatar’ and disrespecting the holy Tulsi.

Officials from the GA department and Bhubaneswar tehsil visited the site at Ghatikia to ascertain if there has been any encroachment of government land. The enforcement squad of the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) also accompanied the team and carried out a preliminary assessment measuring the total area occupied by the ashram.
